Description

We should be able to automatically detect when contributors add/edit content, and create activity stream entries on their profiles.w.org page, and also assign the "training contributor" badge.

That would have the additional benefit of providing more info when reviewing Five for the Future pledges for accuracy.

The next step would be to translate the manual process into something that can be automated.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked manual badge process and the possible-work note around is_post_notifiable(). Map the unfinished dependencies for editorial metadata, Lesson Plan submission, and approval before defining the automation scope. Done means the agreed contributor actions create the appropriate profile activity and badge entries without relying on the manual process.
