New Feature - label a user as "expert" once they've had a certain number of upvotes based on tag

Question

I'd like the ability to set a person as an "expert" - maybe decorating their name and logo with a badge indicating as such - when they've been voted up on questions with particular tags related to them.

For example, I answer lots of questions tagged "dotnet" and get lots of upvotes.  When I hit X number of upvotes, I'm thought of as an expert in that tag so when people see my responses or comments related to a question with that tag, my name/icon is decorated with something that indicates I'm an "expert".

This sounds like a job for a plugin, which keeps extra meta information on users in the usermetas table.

Thought you might say that  - I'm just not there yet (haven't gotten to the point where I'm able to create plugins).  8)
