Contributors on Github - Extension Review
Contributors on Github is a free Chrome extension developed by Henry Zhu. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This extension is designed to assist maintainers on Github by providing contributor statistics.
With Contributors on Github, maintainers can easily see if a pull request is a contributor's first, as well as track the number of issues and pull requests they have made to a specific repository. The extension conveniently caches this data and adds a button for updating the information.
To enhance the functionality, users have the option to use OAuth or supply an access token with the "public_repo" scope, which allows for 30 requests per minute instead of the default 10.
The permissions required by Contributors on Github include access to the GitHub website to inject data, storage for storing the access token and caching user PR data, and identity for creating an OAuth request window.
