CODEOWNERS file not found if using a multi-root workspace with nested workspaces

I have a monorepo where the root workspace has a **.github/CODEOWNERS** file, but I also have a folder in my workspace which is a subdir of the root workspace. When I open a file in the subdir, it doesn't find the **CODEOWNERS** file. I assume this is because it doesn't recursively walk up to find a **.github** folder.
