I think this is an excellent idea. I would add such a badge to the
MyPaint website. There should probably also be badges for more
specific things like OpenRaster.

A minimally useful LG website, as I see it, would answer the following
questions:
What is "Libre Graphics" (definition)?
What kind of projects, people, events, values are related to this
term? What do the projects/people/events have in common, how are they
different? What are they about (very brief/high level info)? Where do
I find more information about them? (link to individual websites)

Each member project could then promote that they are a "Libre
Graphics" project, and refer to the LG website. This way, the member
projects can communicate that they are part of a bigger thing, and
users of one project can easily find related projects by going to the
LG website, get an overview and then go along to other interesting
projects websites.
