Love this idea, thanks for the suggestion!

cc @ytmimi in case you'd have any interest working on this since it's something a bit different (no worries if not though!) Main portions in the code to start digging...

I also think the conversation and concerns articulated on #4934 remain relevant and would move to close this (with #9996 continuing to have some submodule related badges worth potentially considering)

Thanks for digging into this one @chris48s and laying everything out. With that second option, what, if anything, changes when authoring/updating our documentation markdown files? We have markdown-to-other-markdown file references...

Got it thanks. So these truly are mutually exclusive options. Our docs are going to either be navigable within markdown (rendered on GitHub) or navigable on https://contributing.shields.io 👍
