Looks like the APIs have already picked up the corrected contributor information, but the repository sidebar is still showing the old account. Since it's been over 24 hours, could someone from GitHub take a look and refresh the contributor data? Seems like the sidebar cache hasn't caught up with the rewritten commits yet. |

It's almost been a week and there's been no response at all. Free accounts don't have customer service—can't even the community moderators see it? |

Body
I own https://github.com/LeafHW/hufu-ime-rust.
The repository sidebar incorrectly lists @leafyin (Logan) as a contributor.
24 commits on the gh-pages branch accidentally used:
leafyin@users.noreply.github.com
On November 4, 2026, these commits were rewritten with my correct email:
159338173+LeafHW@users.noreply.github.com
As of November 10, both the contributors REST API and contributor statistics API correctly list only LeafHW, crrvx, and lvyww. However, the repository sidebar still lists four contributors, including leafyin.
The leafyin account is not a repository collaborator.
Could you please investigate and refresh the repository sidebar contributor data? More than 24 hours have passed since the correction.
