Hello,
I tried accessing github REST API to fetch the contributors count and there is a mismatch as expected per documentation that says there will be few hours lag. While data that's been there for months/years or not reflecting.
For example:
For repo https://github.com/a0x8o/kafka
Contributor count in github page says 11 contributors
API call returns 1 without anon flag and with anon=1, it returns 2

without anon flag
with anon flag

Please note for all contributors other than the owner of the repo, the contributing commits were made either in 2020 or 2021. Shouldn't that be available in API call as it is been more than months?
