I suspect what he means is that if he uses `C-h f <function>` or `M-x
find-function RET <function>` it opens the .el associated with the
function when he would rather it open the associated .org file (or
better yet open the src block for editing) so that the changes can be
added without having to look for the correct file (if the functions
are split into sub-files based on associated mode/package).
I have had this problem before (on minor changes so I found them
again easily enough).
