I wrote [the initial script][1] after a request from Jorge. That has since been [moved to Launchpad][2] (as you've noted) and I've pushed a few changes over the years.

I know you can understand the script but I'll just spell it out for others,

 - It takes the top 5 questions from the "[Hottest Questions this Week][3]". I don't know the exact time-ranging algorithm for this.
 - Another 5 questions pulled from the API sorted purely by votes. This is time-based.
 - The list of contributors comes from the [SE League][4]. This is based on reputation between Mon and Sun, inclusive with no exception. This means that if you generate the list on a Tuesday it's only based on Monday's data.

If you think you should have been featured in the contributor list, I suspect your contributions might have been too late in the week. I'm not sure when the script is run so there might be something else.

I'm sure that when writing it I hadn't realised it was a literal "this week". If you can find a way of ranking users over the last 7×24×60×60 seconds in the API (or whatever), I'd be happy to help integrate it back into the script.
