I think the number of badges in the README also need to be included in the formula for Q.

An astute observation!

More badges being more vain than less, should that push up or down one’s Q-quotient?

Particularly "license" badges, which just repeat information already elsewhere on the main repo page.

Push up, obviously! I mean, more badges is always better... right?

As long as you’ve got some big numbers, absolutely.

Failing builds and outdated dependencies disappear when sitting beside 20K stars and 100K downloads.
