Finding the real developer on a jira case

[zarg]

Sometimes coder do CR or help on a case, making it difficult to extract who is the real developer on a jira case.

Ideeally id like a function who give me the person logging the highest amount of hours on a case.

The closest i can get is:

assignee was "developer" and timespent <= 2

However the timespent refers to all users who spent time on a case.

Any better suggestions?

i think the magic here depends on how one determines "real developer". If your team logs time then that is a reasonable approach but, as you pointed out is flawed, if you wanted something more definitive then you could add a custom user picker field that was required to be set by the developer when they move to in progress or something similar.
