all of those are great suggestions in general, but only the third one is
actually "reliable" across the project at the moment, due to us having
lost so many core developers in recent times.  If you look at this
analysis that github will do for you on the project mirror:

https://github.com/iotivity/iotivity/graphs/contributors

you'll see that very very few of the people responsible for "most of the
code" in the past are still active.

I'm not criticising, it's just a reality and we have to be clever in
light of that.
