Yes but if you go to "Members" you see all of them, which is confusing at best. The term makes it sound like this is a list of people who are members of your project, when they're not.

And for something like the Linux kernel, it's not hard at all to find people who are about 236,000 commits behind the master.

I agree that GitHub has some accurate views but they're all mixed and it's very easy for a list to look like something that it isn't.

For anyone curious on how to get there:

It lists all people who have forked instead of only contributors. The 'members' tab in general doesn't appear to make much sense.

Ah, I'd never seen the "Members" tab until you pointed it out.

I agree, that could indeed be misleading and doesn't seem very useful!
