  ],

here is my package.json file

I've reported that on github but after two days with no response I decide to ask on SO.

Answer 1

I think you mean the "Collaborators" box on the right sidebar of the module page. They do sound similar but they are different things. NPM doesn't use the contributors field to populate that list, but you can add people to it manually or through the CLI.

Answer 2

I also had this problem. CLI command npm owner add didn't give me result. I found other way that works for me:

1. Go to 'Admin' tab on your package page and invite maintainer (simply type in npm user login you want to be collaborator).
2. Press button 'Update Package Settings' above 'Maintainers' block.

After these steps your package will have one more collaborator!
