Why am I not listed as a member of the project that merged my PR?
I had a PR merged with the main branch of an open source project on GitHub. The project is not a fork, and if I view a file in the master tree that I edited in my PR, I have contributed to that file.
For some reason, however, I don't appear on the main contributors page. Does anyone know why this would be? I've already looked at this GitHub help page about contributions showing up in my own profile , but my question is to show up on the "contributors" page from the actual project.
For reference, here is the PR in question: https://github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/pull/780

In some cases, this may be a leaked PR.
The authorship then belongs entirely to the person who consolidated the PR. It looks like GitHub credits you as a contributor to your profile, but since it doesn't count towards the commit, there is a chance the changes won't make you a contributor.
When the pull request is merged and commits are distributed, only the user who merged the pull request and the user who opened the pull request received the contribution. No other participants in the pull request will receive a fee. link
Update : Only scans the "top" 100 participants and a strict 100 cap and cut the rest. You just contributed, so you end up hiding in the cut off part.
The best way to confirm if you have member status is to use the newly implemented icon feature in comments. You seem to have it.
