Description
In a repo's: Insights | Contributions tab, there are listed all contributions to main, excluding merge commits and bot accounts. By default they are shorted by 'Commits' contributions count.
In this repo the order is as follows:
<table>
<tr>
<td>1
<td>fregante
<td>1,048 commits
<tr>
<td>2
<td>yakov116
<td>258 commits
<tr>
<td>3
<td>sindresorhus
<td>195 commits
<tr>
<td>4
<td>cheap-glitch
<td>96 commits
<tr>
<td>5
<td>kidonng
<td>84 commits
<tr>
<td>(etc)
<td>
<td>
</table>
Currently hovering mouse over a username of a member that has commmited to the repo, there's info as follows:
Committed to this repository in the past day
Committed to this repository in the past week
Committed to this repository in the past month
Committed to this repository
My suggestion is to also include commit count + order (see mockup below).
The reasoning is: the most active/top contributors to better stand out among the repo community.

Everywhere, specially in Issues and PRs

That extension is super useful to have, thanks for the suggestion!
That extension only applies to the 1st post (OP/author) of issues and PRs, and it only lists 'issue' and 'PR' count (repo/org/globally).
Regarding the OP's contributions to the repo, it only lists their PRs count - not 'commits' count.
But, authoring a PR are not the only way to make commits - you can co-author a PR, and you can directly commits to main branch.
I believe that using commits count as a "metric" is useful, as it includes any commits made from PRs.
The main thing I have in mind with my suggestion is, wherever you may be having a conversation at github (be it a new issue/PR, or commenting in a very long thread), to be able to quickly view the contributions of any participant.
posted by kidonng over 3 years ago I'm glad you like my idea.
Don't you think that having the order would also be useful? In the repo you linked it would actually be '#​2' (see), i.e. :
"Authored 345 commits (#​2), opened 45 issues, merged 22 pull requests"
posted by fregante over 3 years ago It's your decision of course, but I just wanted to tell you that I had prepared a PR (based on the 'Contributors on Github' extension) with a new feature that works what I described. I believe that with some guidance from you, it could be made complete (I was waiting for the summer feature freeze to end) :
Feel free to open a PR to demo it and store its code here forever, and then we can decide depending on how big it is 😃 (probably still not though)
