am we could do this but they do not exist to spy on people.
the are there to let people know that a project is maintained and follows
different aspect of the governace policys.
such as is it vulnerablity managed or suppors-upgrades.

i undersand the concern but the reason we follow the current linking approch instead
of embeding is allow them to be centrally managed in a singel repo.

perhaps we can figure out how to automtically staticaly embed them some how so that
when sphinx build executes it embdes a local copy in the html?

i dont think these image are useless as they do provide relevent info to users of
the respecitve project although ill admit i had assumed these tags actully were not
a singel image but were added one by one.
