Ownership and SMEs

Find who owns a repo or path and who to ask, ranked recency-weighted from git history (`contextlake owners` / `who_knows`), no config or index required.

contextlake owners <repo> (or --path SUBDIR for a sub-tree) answers "who owns this, who do I ask?" straight from git history, no config, no index required. It ranks contributors by a recency-weighted blend of commit volume and lines changed, so someone active in that area lately outranks a long-departed prolific author:

contextlake owners acme/payments-api                 # top contributors for the whole repo
contextlake owners acme/payments-api --path src/auth  # ...scoped to the auth module

The same ranking is available to agents over MCP as who_knows(repo, path?, limit?).
