Abstract
  Code ownership transfer or succession is a crucial ingredient in open source code
reuse and in offshore projects. Measuring succession can help understand factors
that affect the success of such transfers and suggest ways to make them more
efficient. We propose and evaluate several methods to measure succession based on
the chronology and traces of developer activities. Using ten instances of offshore
succession identified through interviews, we find that the best succession measure
can accurately pinpoint the most likely mentors. We model the productivity ratio
of more than 1000 developer pairs involved in the succession to test conjectures
formulated using the organizational socialization theory and find the ratio to
decrease for instances of offshore and for mentors who have worked primarily on a
single project or have transferred ownership for their non-primary project code,
thus supporting a theory-based conjectures and providing practical suggestions on
how to improve succession.
