kubernetes: `vendor/modules.txt` is hot for conflicts and approval bottleneck

Any package change in a staging repository has to include its new packages in vendor/modules.txt which creates a bottleneck for conflicts and approval.

Can we split the file so that various parts can be owned by different groups of people?

the file is generated by go mod vendor, so no

we could expand the set of approvers just for that file that to be dep-approvers OR staging approvers, seeing as that file is autogenerated anyhow and actual vendor changes would include other files, but not without the test-infra fix.
