It is common that the developer who built might already left the team.

  Seen != Built. You don't always have to optimize for the right answer right away. Just asking someone who's worked with/on the codebase will often give you a jump start.

    If someone worked on JIRA/Task we can find, otherwise, how do we even know about who has seen the codebase?

      Presumably the code base didn't just have a single author (who is also no longer around). Git blame is amazing for not only tracking down who did what, but also seeing how the code base evolved.

      You ask your coworkers, "have you seen this before?"
