I know this is supposed to be fun, but I’m also mixed on it as so much of my work is in private repositories. This means that these badges are like “privacy leaks” from my closed source work to my public GitHub profile. I suspect this is why this discussion is getting so negative as GitHub is not a social fun place for us anymore, it’s the place we work everyday with coworkers and managers. So in general please GitHub be less gamified and social as I don’t want to have to constantly monitor privacy settings (like at FB) and instead focus on what we all want: replacing Jira and streamlining containers / CI :)

It sounds like these badges will only come from public commits, and you can also turn them off. So I don't think your concern is warranted.

It has given me badges for PR's in private repositories, it just doesn't display what repo or any additional information (listed as "inaccessible")
