Thanks, that looks like just what we need.

You can see the code we use at:

    
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/plain/elpa-admin.el?h=elpa-admin

In other words it's in the `elpa-admin.el` file in `elpa-admin` branch
of the `elpa.git` repository.  So yes, using ELisp will make more sense.

So we'd want the badge URL used in the `README.(md|org)`s such that the
badge indicates the latest version of the package?
