Stale contributor statistics after rewriting commit history

Bug

Body

Hi!
I rewrote a commit in my repository and force-pushed the updated history. I also made a subsequent correction to the same commit and force-pushed again.
The commit history now reflects the corrections, but the contributor list on the repository's main page still shows outdated information. More than 24 hours have passed since the changes.
Repository: https://github.com/pisppus/Pip3D
Is there a way to refresh the contributor statistics or trigger a recalculation of the contributor list?
Thank you!

I don't think the list is stale. Six commits on main are still attributed to another account:

3d32a32  2026-04-03  Улучшена стабильность, ускорение
9057368  2025-12-29  Добавлен драйвер дисплея ILI9488 (SPI)
ad93778  2025-12-26  2х полосные фрейм и z-буфферы
abbe632  2025-12-26  Добавлены зачатки логики и отображения воды
2c4f0dc  2025-12-25  Удаление проверки PSRAM + использование MemUtils на будущее
f072b5f  2025-12-25  без построчного обновления

Their author name is Pisppus, but the author/committer email is memnaaplojka@gmail.com. GitHub attributes commits by email, not by name, and that email belongs to the OrangeCoreStudio account. That's where the 6 contributions come from. You can see it with:

git log --format='%h %an <%ae>' | grep memnaaplojka

or at https://github.com/pisppus/Pip3D/commits?author=OrangeCoreStudio

Two ways to fix it:

1. If OrangeCoreStudio is also yours and you just want the commits counted under pisppus, remove that email from OrangeCoreStudio and add/verify it on pisppus (Settings > Emails). No history rewrite needed.

2. Otherwise rewrite those commits to your current email, e.g. with git-filter-repo:

   echo 'Pisppus <esptester4@gmail.com> <memnaaplojka@gmail.com>' > mailmap.txt
   git filter-repo --mailmap mailmap.txt
   git remote add origin https://github.com/pisppus/Pip3D.git   # filter-repo removes the remote
   git push --force origin main
   

   (this rewrites author and committer for those commits, and every commit hash after them changes)

After either change the contributor list on the repo page can take a while to update.

Thanks, I’ve sorted everything out.
