We are happy to announce that we’ve published a new Cloud version of Code Owners for Bitbucket on May 20, 2022 .

Improvements

Better usability by using Webcard instead of Pull Request Comments
So far the app used pull request comments to indicate which code owners were assigned to the pull request, but also to show potential error cases like using invalid identifiers. Comments have the disadvantage that they can be overlooked in long threads, but also that they generate a lot of notifications.

With this release all Code Owners related information in pull requests are shown in a Code Owners specific webcard.

The following screenshot shows the assigned Code Owners of the pull request including their approval status:

or potential configuration problems like a non-protected CODEOWNERS file:
