Copyright holders are declared in copyright headers. The comments in
files like...

    # Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    # Copyright 2013-2014 OpenStack Foundation
    # Copyright 2012, 2014 Jeremy Stanley

...are copyright headers declaring the holders of copyright on at
least _some_ parts of the file (it is not guaranteed to be complete,
it is only those who have gone to the trouble to log substantial
changes). What information on "copyright holding" were you looking
for? If you're seeking legal advice, this is not at all the place to
do that.
