👋 Hello @abdolhoseini, I've refreshed the list, so it should be up to date now. In the future, if you run into this problem again, please contact GitHub support. From our docs:

I've confirmed this isn't a matter of leftover commits somewhere I missed — I ran git log --all --author=elahehshadkam on fresh clones of both repositories and got no results across any branch or tag, not just main. I also double-checked git ls-remote on both repos to make sure there are no stray refs still pointing at the old history. |

Body
Hello GitHub Community,
Two of my public repositories continue to display the account
elahehshadkamin their Contributors sections, even though the current default-branch histories contain no commits attributed to that account:I corrected the Git author information, rewrote both repository histories, and force-pushed the corrected histories more than 48 hours ago. I verified that the current histories contain no author, committer, or
Co-authored-byreferences associated withelahehshadkam.For example, the filtered commit page for the first repository displays “No commits history”:
https://github.com/abdolhoseini/ai-voice-of-customer-analyzer/commits/main/?author=elahehshadkam
However, the repository sidebar still lists
elahehshadkamunder Contributors and displays “Committed to this repository in the past week.”I attempted to contact GitHub Support, but the ticket was automatically closed because technical support is not included with my current plan, and I was directed to Community Discussions.
Is this stale contributor data that requires an internal statistics/cache refresh? If so, could a GitHub staff member or moderator please advise how the contributor statistics for these repositories can be rebuilt?
