Subject: Stale contributor sidebar (Cache sync issue) I've run into this before—GitHub’s sidebar cache is notoriously sticky, especially when it comes to "dangling" commits that aren't reachable from main anymore. Since your API and Graph are already showing the correct data, it's definitely just the homepage component failing to refresh. Usually, it requires a manual cache purge from the GitHub backend team. Hopefully, a staff member can trigger a rebuild for this repo soon to clear out that stale entry! #Bug #GitHubUI #Caching |

Bug
Body
My repository sidebar contributors list is stale.
Repo: https://github.com/sam-schorb/ping
The current main branch no longer contains any Claude/Anthropic author, committer, or Co-authored-by metadata. The
contributors graph and contributors API only show sam-schorb.
However, the repository homepage sidebar contributors endpoint still shows claude:
https://github.com/sam-schorb/ping/contributors_list?current_repository=ping&deferred=true
The stale attribution appears to come from old dangling commit:
fbe9f7721223ab28e18ad259e010036357606fea
That commit is not reachable from current main and was replaced by:
d4300d2b95956700364317604bea394dedbb6f11
Please rebuild or clear the repository homepage/sidebar contributors cache and remove the stale claude contributor
entry.
