"Merge" information inaccurate

🐞 Problem

Just before 7pm today, I went onto the 24 Pull Requests website and I noticed my 'Merges' tab was missing:

I also noticed that I wasn't showing up here: https://24pullrequests.com/mergers.
The number of maintainers at that time read '80-something'.

30 minutes later I check back:

My 'Merges' tab is back and now there are 216 maintainers.

This wasn't the first time I've noticed my 'Merges' tab disappearing.

We need to discover what's happening and consistently show what merges have taken place during the challenge!

Anyone have any idea what's going on? Has this happened in previous years?

Steadily decreasing number of maintainers as I sit and refresh the page:

I would like to chime in on this issue...

I currently don't have a Merges tab at all, even though I know for a fact that I have merged PR's that have been created as part of the 24PullRequests effort.

Is there a reason that these are not appearing for me? Am I right in thinking that I should be appearing on this list: https://24pullrequests.com/mergers

Thanks

Yes, @gep13. It's likely part of the same bug. You should be appearing on that mergers page.

Definitely a bug, I've seen this going up and down over the past few days too.

I suspect that something is updating pull_requests and unsetting the merged_by_id attribute, so the merger looses the connection to that pull request.
