Ah yes, new in April: https://github.blog/2021-04-22-github-actions-update-helping...
I can't find anything on configuring it though, that only mentions for first-time contributors as you say. I have a 'contributor' badge for pretty minor contributions to all sorts of projects, doesn't necessarily mean they should trust me any more than a first-time contributor! (I can be trusted! I just don't think my contribution to some of them is too much of a barrier for a malicious actor...)
