Summary

Adds "reviewers": ["cplieger"] to default.json, and documents it in the README: the review-request bullet, and the sentence telling an account that extends the preset to set its own reviewers. Renovate now runs as a GitHub App, so a review request reaches the maintainer. While it ran as cplieger, GitHub refused a review request to the pull request's own author.

Release note

Renovate pull requests that wait for manual approval, or whose automatic merge fails its checks, now request a review from cplieger. An account that extends this preset sets its own reviewers to replace that account.

Testing

  • renovate-config-validator --strict (Renovate 44.145.1) passes default.json as global and as repo config.
  • ci-local.sh: PASS, 2 checks not validated locally (comment ratio and NOTICE audit, run by CI).

The preset sets reviewers to cplieger. Renovate now runs as a GitHub App,
so the request reaches the maintainer instead of being refused as a
request to the pull request's own author. The README says when a review
is requested and how another account replaces the reviewer.
