https://github.com/nodejs/badges has been set up to spearhead the node badges initiative.

In order to automate the process of issuing badges, I had been thinking about spinning up a service that would register webhooks using the GitHub API to automatically issue badges when certain conditions are met (first-time contribution, etc).

The conversation took place in nodejs/badges#9 and I was instructed to get in contact with the team here in order to make it happen.

I'd need your help with the bare basics (if we go ahead and implement it as a function within the existing codebase for the bot). Any further assistance would also be appreciated.
