[Q] Finding commits for a specific ROM feature on GitHub

$

Hi all,

Is there a specific way to hunt down commits for feature sets in the source of ROMs on github? As a simple example, let's say someone was searching my ROM for how to enable AppOps in AOSP. They would eventually find this commit:

https://github.com/nowsci/platform_p...39ff9a38be4115

However, many feature additions require changes across many repositories for Android. Let's say I want to find the Expanded Volume Control code for Cyanogenmod. The only way I can think to do this is to clone every single Cyanogenmod repository, print out the git log, and comb through for every mention of "volume" until I find the right commits.

How do other ROM developers shortcut this?

I ask for my own education, and because I think a central repository of "features" that links all the commits and provides the merge commands for AOSP might be a handy thing to start creating in the community (unless there is already a better way).

Thanks!
