Description

By not including the non-github contributors, in some cases the main contributor(s) are not on the high-score list, which isn't too fair to them.

For example compare https://github.com/api/v2/json/repos/show/divio/django-cms/contributors/ to https://github.com/api/v2/json/repos/show/divio/django-cms/contributors/anon, as you can see, Patrick Lauber with 817 contributions is missing from the currently used API endpoint.

Research direction

Start by tracing the contributor data entry point that uses the GitHub contributors API, then compare the regular endpoint with its /anon variant shown in the issue. Done means non-GitHub contributors are included in the high-score list, including Patrick Lauber's contributions for django-cms.
