The delays on reviews for relatively trivial fixes I think is

Sure, I agree. I still think badges just sound fun. :-)
It's at least something that can be automated. Mentoring and such is
important, of course, but takes a much bigger time investment from a
much bigger group of people.
I think we can view improving mentoring and on-boarding as a slightly
different but related issue than badges, which could be a fun way to
recognize and reward contributions.
As an added bonus, if I'm looking for someone who knows about doing
$SOMETHING in OpenStack, I could potentially just go look up who has the
$SOMETHING badge and ask them.
To me it mostly comes down to how much work it ends up being. If it
takes a huge effort to make this happen then there are probably better
places to spend that effort. But if we can make it happen without a
huge investment of time then I think it could be worthwhile.
