https://sourceware.org/gdb/mascot/ should be updated
to point at/mention this contribution too.

Is this an Inkspace SVG?  If so, I believe that it's a good
idea to export it as an Optimized SVG for the web.

If already optimized / stripped of custom extensions, it
may be desirable to also provide access to the original file
for future editing and adaptation, if Andreas is willing.

Do we need to say something about copyright/license?
