Some repos like Cromite, Ceno browser does not show any contributors on their main page despite a huge list of even recent contributors found at the insight>contributors graph.
Whereas, I've seen other repos that proudly display their top contributors (Searxng, IronFox etc). Why is this so? Do the owners toggle off a button that should show off the people contributing to the project

Not certain, but that sidebar might be github account contributors, and the commit "contributors" may not have github accounts.

Didn't know one can contribute without an account. I thought it's something 'bout email address

Anyone can commit to a git repo, they don't need a github account. They could be doing their development on a different git host, and mirroring it to github.
