Right, the base contributor data is obtained by checking what
repositories a change originally merged in, not what forks of a
repository those corresponding commits may appear in. This has come
up in the past for OpenStack, for example when nova-baremetal driver
work was reimported from the Ironic team, and so the Nova team
identified contributors to the files which they imported and listed
them as extra-atcs entries in governance to reflect that
contribution.

If this is being used to determine per-team electoral rolls for
team-specific leadership elections and seat eligibility, then it's
probably a good idea to identify code you've imported from other
teams' repositories and credit the contributors as extra-atcs
entries in the importing team. If on the other hand this is all in
service of generating a single StarlingX-wide electorate then it's
probably not so necessary, as those contributions are still
reflected in their original teams anyway.
