Are utm_* url parameters needed for anything particular (aside of feeding Gitter's backend stats)? If not, I'd suggest to drop 'em.

This is the default parameters when a new badge is created.
I'm thankful to GitLab to bring us a nice free and now (mostly) open sourced chat.
If this non-sensitive data can help them to improve their product, I don't mind much.
We can indeed remove this paramaters if most of us really want to.

Well, sorry if I'll sound unthankful but bloated url looks just awful + has terrible UX (think copying it through other channels - you'd either need to edit it manually or you'll mess with Gitter's stats - since such click would not come from the badge itself anymore).

Agree @Sija , no parameters would be the best, as said in https://github.com/gitterHQ/readme-badger/issues/37
