I'm always frustrated when I don't know how many commits I have co-authored or how many discussions I have answered...

@CaedenPH Thanks for your feature request. I am also curious to know how much PR I have co-authored. However, I'm unsure how interested others are in seeing a user's co-authored count 🤔. It would make more sense to add a feature request to https://github.com/community/community asking whether GitHub can show the co-authored count on the badge overview. I think similar stats should be shown on the Galaxy Brain, Galaxy Brain and StarGazer badges. Alternatively, we could make a small web API on which users can retrieve this data. What do you think?

@CaedenPH I just saw that #1991 already requests the discussion information to be added to the stats card. You can add your support for that feature there.

Regarding the co-authored information, I'm happy to merge a PR into the main branch if enough interest is expressed for his feature from the community (see #1935). I, however, could not find an easy way to find the number of co-authored commits using the GraphQL API. This information only seems to be available on the commit level (see https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/objects#commit). Showing this information on the stats card will be too costly since we need to go through all PR commits of all PRs to retrieve it. Before implementing such a feature, we should add a feature request to https://github.com/community/community in which we request this information to be included under the GraphQL user object.
