Possibility of a bug in the update_contributors.py

[Naeemkh]

It appears that for some users, although the contributors' full names are being collected correctly, the contributors list is using the username instead of the full name.

Hmm. Yea, @uchendui knows this best so will defer to him.

Thanks for catching this @Naeemkh. Could you please point me to an example for reference?

Thanks, @uchendui.

For example, in my case, here is the response for API request:

{
  "login": "Naeemkh",
  "id": 6773835,
  "node_id": "MDQ6VXNlcjY3NzM4MzU=",
  "avatar_url": "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6773835?v=4",
  "gravatar_id": "",
  "url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh",
  "html_url": "https://github.com/Naeemkh",
  "followers_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/followers",
  "following_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/following{/other_user}",
  "gists_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/gists{/gist_id}",
  "starred_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/starred{/owner}{/repo}",
  "subscriptions_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/subscriptions",
  "organizations_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/orgs",
  "repos_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/repos",
  "events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/events{/privacy}",
  "received_events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/Naeemkh/received_events",
  "type": "User",
  "site_admin": false,
  "name": "Naeem Khoshnevis",
  "company": "Harvard University",
  "blog": "",
  "location": "USA, MA, Cambridge",
  "email": null,
  "hireable": true,
  "bio": "Senior Research Software Engineer\r\n    \r\n\r\n",
  "twitter_username": null,
  "public_repos": 25,
  "public_gists": 3,
  "followers": 23,
  "following": 91,
  "created_at": "2014-02-24T17:24:35Z",
  "updated_at": "2024-02-26T13:30:31Z"
}

As you can see, the name field is given ("name": "Naeem Khoshnevis"), however, the code eventually uses my username which is "login": "Naeemkh".
