I keep overlooking these badges too because I'm used to thinking of them as "miscellaneous things that I don't need to care about unless I'm a developer". I like it when package authors put a link to the documentation (or at least a landing page from where I can find documentation) in the URL field at the top of the page so the first thing I see is repo name, one-line description, link to docs. Boom, easy.
