Feature Request: Cocomo Man Years Estimate Badge #581

Hi Ben,

Firstly, thank you so much for this wonderful project.

I'm starting to badge my repos with it - replacing my static lines of code badges with this and adding Cocomo.

I'd like to request a new feature for a "Cocomo Man Years" badge.

Something along the look of this:

Running on the command line on my DevOps-Bash-tools repo I get figures like this:

Estimated Cost to Develop (organic) $2,918,548
Estimated Schedule Effort (organic) 20.66 months
Estimated People Required (organic) 12.55

Although nearly every line of code in the repo was by me:

https://github.com/HariSekhon/DevOps-Bash-tools/graphs/contributors

This raises two questions:

  1. Why does it think this repo took 12 guys instead of just one nerd who doesn't sleep enough?

  2. I think Man Years should be a serialized number because for example if an official product took 100 man years of effort, that could have been 20 devs working for 5 years or a bigger company / team with 100 devs working for 1 year, but the 100 man years estimate shows the total volume of work, rather than dividing by an estimate people into a scheduled real-world time (which is also interesting), but I just want to see the big volume man years number.
