I'm thinking of the projects that weren't even big enough to have multiple contributors. Nowadays, it's typical for most software authors to have their source code in version control and host it somewhere, regardless of whether there's anyone besides them committing to it. In the mid-2000s, you wouldn't typically go to that effort unless you had multiple active contributors. Single-developer projects, and projects with only occasional outside contributors, wouldn't typically be in public VCS.
