On the Community Page, the "Recent Top Contributors" list highlights the last week's most active editors. It resets every week, so that only current editors are shown. It's not meant to be a "leaderboard" in the sense of making things a competition to get to the #1 spot. We don't want to encourage making junk edits just to get to #1. It's more like showing new editors who is active and giving them some motivation.
