PhilGoetz is not on the “Top Contributors” list, despite having more karma than many on that list (Goetz has 646, while five others listed have 615, 536, 513, 504, 495).
I don’t know if this is due to a bug or to some feature I don’t know about.
We’ve deployed a fix for the Top Contributors that should see all 10 users listed. Although it may not be immediately visible due to client and server side caching. You may need to give it up to an hour before it shows up.
I disappeared because I banned my “anti-rationality quotes” post. Today I found out how to unban it and then hide it; but my name didn’t reappear on the list.
Ahh that’s why there are people missing. When the site first went live and before it was announced someone found it, created an account with a questionable username and posted an article of little relevance. A hasty fix was put in place to exclude anyone from the Top Contributors list that had a banned article. Now that the community is much bigger this fix can probably be reversed, which would see the missing people re-appear.
Opened a new issue, since the old issue was closed without a fix, and there doesn’t appear to be any way to reopen it. (PhilGoetz’s karma is quite close to AnnaSalamon’s, but he still doesn’t appear on the list, three days later.)
We’ve just deployed a change that now caches all the sidebar elements both on the server and on the client. As a result its quite feasible that the top contributors may be a little out of sync with user profile page. Its cached for an hour so changes will only appear after an hour.

ciphergoth is still missing, and 1 other person.
Thanks for noticing. :)

Are you sure? I don’t have any banned articles, but I’ve also been missing from the list for a while.
You have banned comments.
Hmm interesting observation. Not sure why that’s happening. Raised an issue to investigate.
It got worse. Today I see only 7 people in the list, missing more of those who were there before.

I’m getting no data in the sidebar except for in the OB feed.
That is, I see all the headers—Recent Comments, Recent Posts, etc. but nothing underneath them.
ETA: That was in Firefox under Linux. Safari under Mac OS is doing fine.
We tested the change in Firefox for Linux (3 on Ubuntu 9.04). What version are you using? Do you have JavaScript turned off or anything like that?
I’m back on the computer with which I originally saw the error, and everything looks fine—sorry for the false alarm.
