Description
Repology.org tracks package versions across a lot of package repositories.
It supports badges with number of repositories which package a given project (examples below for Firefox):

And per-repository badges with version (of given project package in given repository):



Would be nice to support these on shields.io.
PS. It also supports a big badge with packaging summary in all known repos, but I guess that's not exactly sields.io format.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing how shields.io represents external badge integrations, then compare the Repology badge URL patterns shown for tiny-repos and version-for-repo. Done means the requested Repology badges work through shields.io with the documented examples, while the larger vertical-allrepos badge remains out of scope unless clarified.
