I updated the translator a little bit more and updated also the test cases. Please have a look.

I don't know whether the Github API changed but these comments seem for me of little value anyways. I tried to replace them with something more meaningful.

Why do you think we should change how we save the owner information? E.g. zotero is the company but Dan would be a programmer seems still fine for me.

Thanks for the update :-)

To elaborate on my "PS": Maybe I'm seeing a bug. Does importing an organisational repo result in any programmers for you? Neither HEAD nor beea162 does in my case (macOS 10.13.3, Zotero 5.0.35).

Dan for example, only appears as programmer for me, when I trigger the translation on his repos. The field remains empty, whenever I translate the upstream repo, even though he obviously is a (or the main) contributor to them.

From #1296 I understood that owner == org back then prevented any programmer name from getting extracted. But from your comment above I gather that both company and programmer are expected to get extracted, correct? I agree that would be fine, but I never observed that expected behavior so far.

Does importing an organisational repo result in any ´programmers´ for you?

No, the organization will be saved in the company field.

We also tried to look at the contributors, which need another API call, e.g. https://api.github.com/repos/zotero/zotero/contributors, but this list was too much to be meaningful in general. For doing better we might need more information to rely on, e.g. a CODEMETA file.

Hm. I'd argue that at least adding the 0-th contributor (with most contributions) as programmer would be more "meaningful" than none, or a fork's owner.

@katrinleinweber Thank you!

I try to look at the #1587 soon and then we possibly can revisit GitHub translator afterwards again.

Thank you :-)
