I'm pretty sure they scrubbed the commit history to remove claude. Github caches the top contributors in the main page so even if you rewrite the history they remain. And in this repo you're right that if you go to the history claude's contribution shouldn't get it so high, so it follows that they scrubbed it.

Nah, it's there in the history, but they're co-authors so I think they may be showing up differently/not at all. If you just hunt the history you can find all of the co-authored entries. I think what I saw was 3-5 distinct users with commits which had a claude co-author on a subset of their commits.
If it's so little, why does Claude appear so prominently in the contributors section on GitHub?
