Steve Kondik, CyanogenMod’s founder, used to work for Samsung but his work was completely unrelated to that of CM.They very well add tons of features and tweaks, written completely from scratch by them, which are then in some cases even added by the CyanogenMod team to their ROM. This does not mean that the team simply kangs features from the CyanogenMod Github.
