🏆 Maigret Contributor Spotlight — Last 6 Months (Feb–Jul 2026)

Maigret only exists because of the people who send fixes, new sites, tests, and docs. Over the last six months (PRs merged February–July 2026), 26 contributors landed changes in the project — everything from deep core bugfixes to brand-new export formats and translations.

This thread is a simple thank you. Below is a top-10 by merged pull requests, with the podium getting some well-deserved hardware 🥇🥈🥉 — and every contributor from the period is named at the bottom, because all of it matters.

🥇🥈🥉 The Podium

🥇 @jichaowang02-lang — Bugfix Champion

5 PRs of surgical core-correctness fixes. Caught the URLMatcher eating leading host characters, fixed error-percentage rounding that tripped thresholds, and made the include-tag filter case-insensitive to match its sibling.

#2811, #2809, #2808, #2805, #2788

🥈 @razbenya — Reliability Hero

5 PRs hardening proxy support and test coverage. Made --proxy actually apply to CurlCffiChecker (tls_fingerprint sites), fixed the linktr.ee detector, refreshed stale samples, and added regression tests so it stays fixed.

#2652, #2651, #2650, #2649, #2648

🥉 @juliosuas — The All-Rounder

5 PRs across the whole stack — new cybersecurity platforms + re-enabled Root-Me, data fixes, CI timing tweaks, and typo cleanups. The kind of steady, broad contribution every project needs.

#2318, #2442, #2558, #2588, #2779
