--- Comment #40 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> ---
fwiw I have listed this bug at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_large_bugs (without knowing whether it
is actually large or not).

The duplicated bug report contains this comment from Adam that is worth having
here as well:

That's a small smattering of the Featured Pictures I had to upload twice, once
as a lossy JPEG, once as a lossless PNG. 

It's actually considered a requirement by some at English Featured Picture
Candidates that the PNG of a restoration be uploaded alongside the JPEG that
Wikipedia actually allows users to use. See, for example:

[[:en:Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/The_Early_Poems_of_Alfred,_Lord_Tennyson]]
"PNG versions, could you upload PNG versions for a lossless version if someone
else wants to use or edit them? Are the original versions uploaded too?"

*****

I agree this bug is painful but if nobody is looking at it is just because of a
lack of resources, not because of some kind of mania or malice. I wonder
whether we have developers in the community with the skills to loo at this
problem & patch, and whether they are aware of this report.
