The README shows who is working on the repository, ranked by merged pull requests and reviews submitted, refreshed by the same workflow that already maintains the positions table and the leaderboard. It lists the top ten, the depth the leaderboard already uses for each role.

Profile submissions are left out. Counting every merged pull request puts 171 people in the table, because 163 of the 210 merged ones add a profile file — that is the leaderboard's list of candidates a second time, not the people improving the workflows this Problem names. They are filtered by the title convention validate-profile.mjs already enforces, which costs no extra API calls and brings it down to 24 authors.

Bot accounts are left out too. coderabbitai[bot] has submitted reviews on merged pull requests here (#1207, #1242) and would otherwise lead the reviews column. No bot has authored a merged pull request.

Reviews cost one API call per pull request, so the scan stops after the 100 most recent. With profile submissions filtered out there are 47 to read. The cap is there so a run does not grow with the repository's whole history, and it is one constant to raise.

Closes #1173

Walkthrough

The workflow now builds a contributor leaderboard from merged pull requests and reviews. It filters profile submissions and bots, ranks contributors, and updates a marked README section. Tests cover filtering, deduplication, ranking, and zero authored pull requests.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9a3a4

The README leaderboard can omit leading reviewers, undercount reviews, and present bounded review data as complete totals. This can produce misleading public contributor recognition, so the change needs correction or explicit acceptance before merge.

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.github.com REST pull requests list reviews pagination per_page 100

💡 Result:

To list pull request reviews using the GitHub REST API with pagination, you can use the GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}/reviews endpoint [1][2]. This endpoint supports the per_page query parameter, which allows you to specify the number of results to return per page [1][3]. The maximum value allowed for per_page is 100 [1][3]. If you do not specify a value, the default is 30 [1][4]. Example usage: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}/reviews?per_page=100&page=1 If you request a value greater than the maximum (100), the API will automatically reduce it to the maximum without returning an error [3][5]. You can use the page parameter to navigate through subsequent sets of results [1][4]. The response will include a link header that contains URLs for navigating to the next, previous, first, and last pages if they exist [3][5].

Paginate review records.

countReviews reads only the first page from the paginated github.rest.pulls.listReviews endpoint. If a pull request has more than 100 review records, later reviewers are excluded from the totals. Use github.paginate or an explicit page loop, and add a test with more than 100 review records.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Select the top ten contributors for each role.

This line selects one combined top-ten list after sorting by merged pull requests. If ten authors have merged pull requests, a contributor with many reviews and no authored pull request can be omitted.

Compute the top ten authors and top ten reviewers independently. Render separate rankings or combine the two sets without losing either role.

Disclose the review-count window.

The Reviews column contains reviews from only the 100 most recently merged pull requests. The current header presents the value as an unrestricted total.

Use a header such as Reviews (latest 100 PRs).
