It's not really needed.  If you want good examples, just look for
new programs or library functions recently written from scratch
by experienced developers, for example signify(1), identd(8), cu(1),
mfii(4), tftp-proxy(8), ldomctl(8).  There are no doubt many more.
The release announcements tell you what is new.

That's in part a matter of taste, and it doesn't matter that you
get *the* finest (whatever that is), you just need very good ones.

Not quite.  Even in very good code, there is stil considerable room for
personal style, and i don't doubt you will see that when looking at
the above examples (though i admit i didn't check).

Yes.  If something is found that is really important, others will
help.  And if anyone gets bored, they move on to something else -
though, as a rule, if something is really important, someone will
hopeful show the required persistence.  It need not necessarily be
the developer who originally found the issue.
