Comment (by coffee2code):

 One consideration is to have each badge link to a badges page in the
 respective team's contributor handbook.

 Badges are intended as a reflection of participation in a WordPress.org
 team, so it seems natural to point users to information within a team's
 contributor's handbook (which live within the team's make site). Such
 pages should list the badges they provide and the criteria used to earn a
 badge. Then they could take that opportunity to point these interested
 users to other parts of their handbook to encourage them to get involved
 with the team.

 This also provides a consistent experience for users since the badges
 would link to similar explanatory pages instead of to potentially
 disparate targets (a profile tab for one, a make site for another, an
 about page of sort for another) which may not be immediately clear how it
 relates to a badge or how one earned/earns it.

 Having a centralized page (which we do already
 [https://make.wordpress.org/meta/handbook/documentation/profile-badges/ in
 the meta team's handbook], though it could use sprucing up to show each of
 the badges and a bit more info) has its merits as well.
