This would have to be computed inside the `DefaultModelBuilder`. The models are built in two phases. After the first phase is done, all models have been read and the needed information should be available. So the best place may be (without much thoughts) in the `DefaultModelBuilder`, just before the model interpolation. The parents (and all models from the reactor) should be available on the model building request. The relevant code is [here](https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/24329561fc9092ba7a10aa9c7a378b392e0d9301/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/building/DefaultModelBuilder.java#L883-L886). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
