Maybe we could make it easier to have our documentation builds strip that content automatically so that distro package maintainers don't need to?
That'd be really awesome!

My point was that these badges are mostly only relevant to folks browsing README files in a source code hosting platform, but when the README is embedded into a compiled Sphinx document they seem really out of place and are probably best omitted.
Yes. Not only that. In Debian we consider this a "privacy breach" (see below).
If it was just us, I'd say that at this point it's just easier to get rid of the tag-badge: it brings limited value and also does not "behave" like individual badges when clicked on. However I am not sure that would not really solve your problem, as teams routinely add badges to their README files like the PyPI version badge in: https://opendev.org/openstack/python-novaclient/src/branch/master/README.rst So I think the simplest is to automate the removal of external images so that the result is compliant with Debian packaging. I bet it's a pretty common packaging problem with all those projects on GitHub using badges those days? -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
