Fedora has "Badges"[1][2] you can earn for various levels of participation, performing reviews, building a package, committing a bugfix, testing, etc. You even earn silly badges for making mistakes... like pushing a change which breaks a build. Contributors can propose new badges. It all ties into a centralized notification system, and you can track where you are compared to others on how many badges you've earned.
Something like that would really have to be ASF-wide, rather than project-specific, but projects could create their own custom badges, based on contributions to their project. ASF-wide badges could be for participation in multiple projects, and special badges could be for serving on the board, or chairing a project, mentoring GSoC, hosting a hackathon or key signing party, presenting at ApacheCon, etc. The number of badges could be very small to start (becoming a committer, committer on multiple projects, etc.) and could grow over time.
