Badge description (like "You added a co-maintainer to a package. BFF!"):

Your EPEL package was promoted into RHEL.

Help the badges team understand what this idea is all about. If this badge is
awarded for certain kinds of activities:

1) What are those activities?

Have a package you maintain in EPEL get retired because it was added to RHEL.

2) Who is doing them (are they packagers? translators? newcomers? veterans?
users? sponsors?)

packagers

3) Why are they doing them (is this a means to a different end?)

EPEL provides additional packages for RHEL. By policy, if a package is added to RHEL, it must be retired from EPEL to avoid a conflict. This is effectively the package being "promoted" from being a community package to a component of the RHEL product.

4) When do they do them (every day? once a year?)

Every six months RHEL releases new minor versions. New packages are typically added as part of these minor versions, but the amount varies and could even be zero. It probably doesn't happen frequently enough to fully automate the awarding of the badge. I'd be happy to just manually award it as we process instances of this happening.

5) How do they do them (by talking in IRC? by running commands in the console?
by using a web interface?)

Usually maintainers don't have to take action on this themselves. The EPEL Steering Committee has automation in place to file bugs like rhbz#2261959 to let maintainers know about a pending RHEL addition, and then we retire it for them when it's completed. The idea behind the badge is the packager put in work before that point maintaining the package in EPEL, and it was beneficial to demonstrate the value of the packaged software to the point that RHEL decided to include it.

Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts?

Other EPEL badges have a theme of ants with ties (see corporate-drone, corporate-shill, and corporate-overlord). I think we can keep the corporate theme going with the title of "Corporate Promotion", and use the same ant somehow. I'm open to suggestions on how to represent the idea of a promotion visually.
