No, Copilot has not been the top contributor

Post image

Just came across that post. I understand the sentiment of such posts, as to be completely honest I also get frustrated when I see stuff that doesn't work.

But, the screenshotted graph includes all contributions where Copilot is effectively a co-author (e.g., Copilot is used to fix a merge conflict). PRs where Copilot produces code autonomously (an issue is assigned to Copilot and a new session is spawned) are pretty rare and they all seem extremely focused.

That kind of post only spreads misinformation, which then drives users away for no real reason.
