Contributors list shows 2 accounts with no commits after force push

Bug

Body

Hi,

the Contributors section of my repository PrograNinoGit/adirondack-site shows 3 contributors, but I am the only one who has ever committed to the current history.

What I checked:

• git shortlog -sne --all in a fresh clone lists only one author (me, 14 commits).
• git log --all --format="%B" | Select-String "Co-authored-by" returns nothing.
• Opening the commits page filtered by one of the extra accounts (/commits?author=<username>) on the main branch shows "No commits history".

How this happened:
I used a force push at some point, and after that the two additional accounts appeared in the Contributors list. They have no commits, no co-authored-by trailers and no pull requests in the repository.

Question:
Is the Contributors list cached and can it be refreshed or recalculated? Is there anything I can do on my side (other than deleting and recreating the repository) to remove the stale entries?

I already contacted GitHub Support, but only got an automated reply pointing to the community resources.

Thanks for any help!
