Support for the `reviewers` key in `dependabot.yml` files is being removed by GitHub on May 20th 2025. The recommendation is to have a `CODEOWNERS` file to set reviewers instead. For now, this commit removes the `reviewers` key from the `dependabot.yml` file without replacing it. That should prevent comments being left in PRs by the dependabot bot account about the field no longer being supported.
