That's right, we have thought a few times that we should just skip repos with no language detected from rankings (and probably move this kind of resources to another section).

Btw, in the "Top Contributors" section, you can filter out contributors by languages, example: https://opensource-heroes.com/contributors?language=python

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);

That list still seems pretty biased (I think at least, because hovers to show the cards are mostly off-screen, in Firefox anyway).

The only semi-manual section is https://opensource-heroes.com/awesome. All other data in the site is asynchronous updated via the GitHub API. But yeah, we still need to improve some UI stuff, specially in mobile (it looks quite good in desktop).

I appreciate that it's automated; my point is that's not actually a great way to do it, and that some curation is needed.
