Hi Tom, thanks for sharing this feedback on the list. This feedback was
directly used when planning the upcoming Badges FAD.

Some of these are likely very far away even now, but I read one way to
accomplish this goal is to integrate Badges into more of the
fast-moving, exciting places where Fedora is innovating.

This idea is related to this goal we identified for the FAD:

This functionality has existed for some years already in Badges, but
there is no documentation to explain how it works or how to set up new
badges (even for admins). It would be nice to finally get documentation
around this written. It could fit into this goal we identified for our FAD:

Admittedly, this did not make it into the FAD proposal. But if we manage
to get someone like Matthew or Brian in the room, this would be a great
side conversation to have too.
