That is a good point. I wonder if there's a way to give instructions which can work out what a particular developer is doing. One solution would be a local file which has that info, but that's a bit of a burden on the developer and might start to put barriers up for new contributors. Maybe we could give it a list of options to try? Open to ideas.
