That's a great point, @tikkabhuna!
It seems like fixing that problem you describe could be a good way to improve the discoverability of the mentioned Badges area.
I've taken the liberty of documenting this in an issue [1] and putting forward a proposal. Would something like what I wrote there solve this problem for you?
If you have any more feedback to add, feel free to drop a comment.
I work as a Frontend Engineering Manager at GitLab and will raise the visibility of this issue to the right folks to get this on their radar.
Thanks for mentioning this.
