Comment (by francina):

 As stated before, a badge is given for contribution. While we all agree
 that without users WordPress wouldn't exist and without attendees
 WordCamps wouldn't happen, it feels quite a forced logic. Without the
 world wide web we wouldn't be here, without electricty the www wouldn't
 exist and basically we could go back to the dawn of times :)

 As for Volunteers: we talked about this in the past
 [https://make.wordpress.org/community/2017/08/09/recognise-volunteers-in-
 wordcamp-websites/]
 Main problem here is tracking who is actually showing up on the day.
 Flagging them with Admin Flag is easy enough, but then if something
 changes along the way, organisers would need to rectify this manually
 every time there is a change: our organisers are quite overworked as it
 is, no need to add more tasks to their list IMHO. So if we could create a
 CPT and make it easier to manage I am all for it!
