First, it would be good to have some stats on what % of applications are we 
talking about here ? How many would we actually miss, e.g. is this a 'good 
enough' solution ? I mean, in a case like this, there is no method that can 
cover 100% of the cases (for example voting completely ignores developers 
working on libraries).
