Bug

Body

Although it has never made a single commit to the repository and is not displayed in "graphs/contributors" for the entire period, it is displayed in "Contributor" on the top screen of the repository.

Personally, this bothers me a lot.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is there no other way than to just endure it?

Try switching the GitHub repo from "public to private" and back to "public" again.
If that doesn't fix it, it might be a Github bug, so please contact support.

You can contact GitHub via the link:

Doing so will remove all star and fork states, so it is unfavorable.
Is there any other way?

[gumob]

Why is the repository being starred and forked even though you have never committed to it?
Your description doesn't help me understand the situation, so please give me the URL of the repository where the problem is occurring.

If it is a private repository and you cannot give me the link, as I said, you can contact GitHub via the link:
https://support.github.com/contact?tags=rr-remove-data

Don't forget to mention your repo url in the content and say that you need to delete invalid contributors.
They will help you clear these manually.

Ah, maybe I didn't say enough.

I don't mean that the repository is empty, but what I meant is that the specific user appears as a Contributor even though he or she has never made a commit to the repository.
