I tried many things and ended up with the underlying GitHub API HTTP methods. For example:

curl https://api.github.com/repos/rails/rails/stats/contributors 

Got nothing. So, I dropped an e-mail to GitHub Support. Here's the answer from Wynn Netherland:

Thanks for getting in touch. That particular method doesn't support pagination, so we're effectively capping the contributors data to 100 as you've discovered. I can't promise if/when we'll be able to show more data on that one since it's sort of an expensive endpoint for us. Keep an eye on the API developer docs for updates.

Thanks Wynn. So, GitHub Repo Statistics API isn't supporting pagination. There is no way to get contributors list with more than 100 results.
