Allow defining badges on a file commited to the repository

Problem to solve

When starting a new project, setting the badges seems to be overly complicated. In our case, we usually use the same set of badges, and copy them from project to project manually.

It would be great to be able to declare the badges in a file that's parsed by the UI (maybe even within .gitlab-ci.yml?)

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
