Description

**Describe the bug**
@torvalds joined GitHub on September 3, 2011, and makes 2000+ contributions every year (as seen on his [profile](https://github.com/torvalds)) that sums up to about 22k. However, [your badge](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=torvalds&count_private=true&show_icons=true&title_color=856ddc&icon_color=856ddc&include_all_commits=true) shows that he has a total of 175308.6k commits, which is far from reality. Even the number itself is absurd- one who commits once every minute would need 333 years to achieve this number!

**Expected behavior**
"Total commits" shows a number that is comparable to the number of contributions given by Github.
