Recognize contributors with GitLab Achievements

Previously GitLab had no built-in way to formally recognize team members, customers, and contributors for their work. Efforts often went unacknowledged, and communities lacked a consistent way to celebrate the people who make their projects successful.

You can now create custom achievements at the group level and award them to users for their contributions. Each achievement includes a name, description, and avatar. Awarded users can choose which achievements to display on their profile. Achievements give maintainers a visible way to reward participation and help build stronger, more motivated communities.
