Sure, I can do this. First I can make a brief dedicated mail on the lists
to announce the plan to convert to PNG most non-source included image files.

Give the developers a chance to do it themselves (maybe a week ?), then
send private mails to the authors that have not converted requesting
permission to do so myself (hope the AUTHORS files are up to date).

Thoughts?
