My feeling is as granular as possible, but it should probably be on a
case by case basis.  There are some passes that pretty much never change
that probably don't need their own code owner, but it would be good to
have one code owner per pass for the ones that still see a lot of changes.
Or at least to have a code owner for a group of related passes, like how
Chandler is the code owner for 'inlining & related passes'
