>Say you're new to a codebase but have identified an area you want to change, is there a way to use git history to figure out who's best to ask about it? Does the question matter all that much?
Not really, because I'll discover it either on GitHub or GitLab and I'll open an issue, and the go to people tend to either manifest, or be tagged by curators.
I guess relevant indicators to look at for an individual:
Number of issues of a certain label.
Number of comments on issues of a certain label.
Most tagged persons for a certain tag (i.e: based on other contributors action of tagging, this is the go to person for X label).
Change of issue state (who closed an issue, what label was on that issue, is there a pattern).
