After a year or so people change positions / work places, and this
becomes simply an old memory, with the relevant person not longer
available to answer questions, so this is missing the point.
Actually, what you describe is exactly why it works well in open
source projects. You often _can_ reach people after they are no longer
involved, and often they'll be glad to answer questions, etc. Because
it's not secret-employer-code, people are much more willing and able
to be a brief mentor or answer some questions.
