💡 Feature Description
would love to add an automated contributor gallery to the readme using a native github actions workflow instead of external contributor bots/tools.
the workflow would fetch contributor data from the github api, generate a clean avatar grid, and automatically update the readme between protected markers.
🔥 Problem This Solves
execra already has a growing contributor community through gssoc '26, but contributors are only visible inside github insights.
a visible contributor section in the README would improve community recognition while removing the need for manual updates by maintainers.
✅ Proposed Solution
implement a lightweight workflow using:
features:
- auto-update contributor gallery on schedule
- manual workflow trigger support
- bot filtering
- clickable contributor avatars linked to profiles
📁 Relevant Module / Area
🏷️ Suggested GSSoC Difficulty Level
📎 Additional Context
this would fit really nicely with execra’s community-driven open source ecosystem and help showcase contributors directly in the repository readme.
happy to work on this if approved @sahoo-tech
also noticed that the current gssoc '26 label system seems to use:
level:beginner
level:intermediate
level:advanced
level:critical
while this template still references the older easy/medium/hard format. i might be mistaken, but thought it could be worth checking/updating for consistency with the latest gssoc guidelines.
