You might not be finding where you can add the code because editing badge SQL editing is now disabled by default. See here:

So I think the process would be to:

1. Enable badge SQL editing (instructions in the linked topic)
2. Create a new badge in Admin \> Badges (or edit an existing badge if you’ve already created it)
3. Add your SQL to the badge and save
4. Disable badge SQL editing

Then if you haven’t already done so, going by the values in the SQL you posted:

1. Create a category called “bug”
2. Create a user group called “team”
3. Add the users that you want to be able to accept bug reports to “team”
