BTW: Didn’t you [ask the same a long time ago](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-get-the-contributor-badge/19086)? 😉

Seems I did, but obviously it worked and now it is gone again…oh well, probably show how the same issue.

Yeah, all the badges were lost about two weeks ago and had to be granted again…

No, it definitely isn’t that… As I see many others with the badges, but it must something with the way the prior commits are. So there is likely nothing I can do about it now.

Well, they can certainly award it manually. 😉
But the plugin will need an update anyway since some of the pull requests are not recognized anymore. The “Merge pull request” commits are missing… Maybe it’s time to use the Github API. 🙂
Oh, and this simple script lists the number of pull requests and the corresponding email addresses the same way as the plugin does:
```ruby
emails = []
path = '/path/to/discourse/repo'
`cd #{path} && git log --merges --pretty=format:%p --grep='Merge pull request'`.each_line do |m|
emails << (`cd #{path} && git log -1 --format=%ce #{m.split(' ')[1].strip}`.strip)
end
email_commits = emails.group_by { |e| e }
.map { |k, l| [k, l.count] }
.sort { |a,b| a[1] <=> b[1] }
email_commits.each do |email, commits|
print "#{commits}\t#{email}\n"
end
```

lol, that is exactly what I was “recreating” locally right now. Fairly certain there isn’t much I can do. As the email address I started with (over a year ago), I won’t be re-enabling.
**Edit:** Just confirmed that is what it is… oh well.
