I'd like to +1 this. It was done for the hackathon badges in 2011 iirc and it was great. It makes it easier for introverts (of which there is no shortage among Wikimedians) to start conversations.
It's probably not enough (meaning it needs to be supplemented with other mechanisms to facilitate interaction, including in smaller groups and/or more quiet venues) but it's a good start.
