Encourage community contributors via UI

Description

With more than 2000 individual contributors we now have around 1000 new changes every month that are community contributions.
During todays GitLab Live event the point came up how we can further encourage contributions using the GitLab UI.

One idea is to show who contributed to a project via a personal badge. This could scale with the amount of contributions, similar to our user contribution graph.

Proposal

Let's explore which improvements we can implement to make our community want to contribute
