Body

Repository: https://github.com/opedrosoares/MCP_Compras

On 2026-09-07 I rewrote the history of the default branch to remove commits
from an organization no longer associated with the project, and AI co-author
trailers. All remote refs were updated; the old refs no longer exist on the
remote.

The contributor data has since recomputed correctly:
/repos/opedrosoares/MCP_Compras/contributors -> 2 contributors
/repos/opedrosoares/MCP_Compras/stats/contributors -> 2 contributors
/graphs/contributors-data -> 2 contributors

The repository home sidebar, however, still reports 4 contributors and lists
two accounts that no longer have any commit on the default branch. The stale
fragment is reproducible anonymously, so it is not a browser cache:

https://github.com/opedrosoares/MCP_Compras/contributors_list?deferred=true
-> 4

This has persisted for 3 days and across multiple pushes to the default
branch. Is there a way to force the cached contributor list for a repository
to be invalidated and recomputed?

Hey @opedrosoares

From our docs:

After force-pushing, rewriting history, or deleting commits, repository contributor displays and statistics can take about 24 hours to refresh.
If you're a repository owner and contributor data is still incorrect after waiting about 24 hours, contact GitHub Support. For more information about creating a support ticket, see Creating a support ticket.

As no other Community Discussions team members will be able to provide additional help with account related questions I am going to close this discussion. We appreciate your understanding and patience while Support works through your request!
