User Badges
Problem to solve
Assignable (and/or automated) Badges for user achievements.
Further details
It would be nice to be able to recognize users within GitLab for achievements / contributions they make to their community. For example, a badge that is awarded the first time someone submits a Merge Request to a project they are not a member of.
Relevant badges for the user could also be displayed in certain situations, such as in MR and Issue Comments, user badges related to those parts of the system could be displayed alongside the users comment to help foster trust that the user is well versed in that part of the system.
The benefit and goal of this would be to promote and recognize contribution across an organization within the system.
(Include use cases, benefits, and/or goals)
Proposal
Add User Badges (assignable and/or automated) to GitLab.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
- Number of badges that can be awarded.
- Metrics within a system of how many badges have been awarded.
- Requests from the community for the addition of new badges.
(If no way to measure success, link to an issue that will implement a way to measure this)
