    Thanks for the idea @udaykiranchenna! I opened #741 with a first step: an upstream badge for anyone with a pull request merged into /dev/null itself, checked against GitHub's contributor list by account ID.

    It doesn't cover open-source contributions elsewhere yet. That would need a way to decide what counts as "real" open source, which feels like a separate discussion, but this could be the place to start.
