Is it possible to somehow influence the developers who appropriate the code from other people's PRs on github.com?

Those. the code of my PRs is stupidly copied by the developers of the framework into their PRs and published in master (without any notes that this code was created by me.), and my PRs remain unnoticed.
By and large, I don’t feel sorry for it, but you can’t write in the portfolio either - I participated in the development of such and such a framework, because. it becomes more difficult to prove it.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Can github affect a developer?

Well, a little old-fashioned, but in general... a variant of the norm.
If we talk about the legal side of the issue, then applied problems from the fact that it becomes impossible to make out where someone's work is, may be more likely for them than for you. Well, at least if the conditions for distributing the program (which you presumably accepted when sending the patches) are not weak-willed. All of a sudden, you're another Patrick McHardy, huh? :-D
[from comments]> should have accepted my PR and then rolled out their changes.
God bless you, who should? Why do you consider it possible to impose your preferences in work on them?
> you can’t write anymore - participated in the development of such and such a framework, because it becomes more difficult to prove it So ask them to add you to the list of authors! They definitely haven't done it yet, maybe you just haven't noticed? ;-)
> Can Github affect the developer?
You didn't name him, so it's hard to say. But many are now sitting on the needle of Github quite firmly, so it probably can do something else. Just why would they do it? Their interests are hardly affected here. This is your own business.
