I'm open for discussing and changing the thresholds and badges.

badges: '[beginning-contributor,repeat-contributor,valued-contributor,admired-contributor,star-contributor,distinguished-contributor]'
thresholds: '[0,3,6,13,25,50]'

Terminology:
badges: Labels added to the PR.
thresholds: Based on number of PR's the badges (labels) are added.

Thank you

@bbarani @gaiksaya should we add days option? Like number of days the badge is valid?

Can come as an enhancement. This looks good for now. Will see how this goes and how the community responds.

Thanks @gaiksaya if you are good, can you add your approval?

[CEHENKLE]

Sorry, I'm late to the party -- are these values that can be set per repo? Or is it a project-wide thing?

I also like first-time (or maybe new) rather than beginner, but I'm fine with either :)

[prudhvigodithi]

Hey @CEHENKLE yes it can be configured per repo or we can provider a set of guidelines for the entire org. Following are badge categories added to this repo.

first-time-contributor: 0
repeat-contributor: 3
valued-contributor: 6
seasoned-contributor: 13
all-star-contributor: 25
distinguished-contributor: 50

Thanks! Can we add a set of defaults and let the repos override them?

Yes @CEHENKLE that is possible, we can start a META issue with campaign and allow the repo teams to override the badge list. @bbarani @dblock

[CEHENKLE]
