Not everything applies because Google doesn't host its repo on 
Github (obviously), but code ownership works very well there.  It 
helps avoid the bystander effect, and encourages casual 
contributors (like bugfixers) because they know they have a 
specific person to ping.  As long as code ownership is a position 
of responsibility, not power, I think it's a good idea for most 
large software projects.
