Hi Zbynek! I was also thinking about a badges-alike approach in the future. The Linux Foundation supports open badges on its platform, and we could somehow get access to it. E.g. I have a badge for speaking at cdCon there... IIUC it is based on https://info.credly.com/ .
We could definitely explore it more if someone is interested. Badges for financial donations are probably not the biggest use-case though.
