I have already done a preliminary review for you, and I hope to help you do a better job.

Summary:
This PR adds a new markdown file tidb-master-owners.md to document the TiDB code owners (approvers) based on the OWNERS and OWNERS_ALIASES files in the pingcap/tidb repository. The approach taken involves generating a report with two tables: one for SIGs and another for scopes. Overall, the quality of the added documentation is good, providing clear information about code ownership within the project.

Critical Issues:

• No critical issues found.

Code Improvements:

• The tables in the markdown file could be improved by adding a header row for better readability. For example, in the "SIGs view" table:

  | SIG | Members | Scope (folders/files) |
  | --- | --- | --- |

• Consider breaking down the large tables into smaller, more manageable sections for easier navigation and comprehension, especially for readers who may be looking for specific information.

Best Practices:

• Add a header row to the tables for clarity and better structure. For example, in the "Scopes view" table:

  | Scope (folder/file) | Who can approve |
  | --- | --- |

• Consider adding a brief introduction section at the beginning of the document to provide an overview of what the document contains and how to interpret the information.
• Ensure consistency in naming conventions for columns and values in the tables to maintain readability and understandability.
• Since the document appears to be auto-generated, consider adding a note or timestamp indicating the last update or generation time to inform readers about the document's relevance.

Code Review

This pull request adds a new documentation file, tidb-master-owners.md, which provides a report on code owners for the TiDB master branch. The report is generated based on OWNERS and OWNERS_ALIASES files and is intended to be automated in the future. My review focuses on the correctness, clarity, and formatting of this new markdown file. I've identified a few areas for improvement, including a data inconsistency between the two main tables, a typo in the generation prompt, and some formatting suggestions to improve readability. Please see my detailed comments.

Summary:
The pull request adds a new markdown file tidb-master-owners.md in the docs/guides/owners directory of the pingcap/tidb repository. The file contains a detailed report about the code owners (approvers) in the TiDB project. The report is structured with SIGs view and Scopes view tables. The overall quality of the added documentation is good with detailed information provided.

Critical Issues:
None

Code Improvements:

• Documentation Needs - Naming Conventions:
  • File: docs/guides/owners/tidb-master-owners.md
  • The file could benefit from some clarifications in the column headings to make the tables more understandable for readers. For example, adding a legend or key to explain what certain terms like "SIG" and "Members" represent would improve clarity.
  • Suggested Solution: Add a legend/key at the beginning of the file to explain the meaning of terms used in the tables.

Best Practices:

• Documentation Needs - Testing Coverage:

  • File: docs/guides/owners/tidb-master-owners.md
  • While the documentation provides a comprehensive list of SIGs and their respective members, it lacks information on how this information is maintained or updated. Including details on the process of adding or removing members from SIGs could be beneficial for contributors.
  • Suggested Solution: Add a section explaining the process for maintaining and updating SIG memberships.

• Documentation Needs - Style Guideline Deviation:

  • File: docs/guides/owners/tidb-master-owners.md
  • The markdown tables could be formatted more consistently for better readability. For instance, aligning the columns could enhance the overall presentation.
  • Suggested Solution: Align the columns in the markdown tables for a neater appearance.

• Documentation Needs - Code Duplication:

  • File: docs/guides/owners/tidb-master-owners.md
  • There are several instances where approvers' names are repeated across different SIGs. This repetition could be reduced by introducing a more concise representation.
  • Suggested Solution: Create a separate section listing individual approvers and reference them by name in the SIGs table where applicable.

By addressing these documentation improvements, the clarity and maintainability of the tidb-master-owners.md file can be enhanced for both current and future contributors.
