It's an effect of what Github uses for that dashboard.. AFAIK all the
Github summary stats only take into consideration the "default" branch of
projects. Hence if the repos you contribute to have "master" as the default
and you push mostly to "develop" they will not show. And IIRC once you
merge to the default branch it will then take that history into account.
