FWIW, all the Events team *should* be subscribed to -www as well, at
least this was decided back in the past and officially announced (fair
enough, by me...):

I have a strong opinion on this matter: I would prefer not to list
non-free "supporters", but then even I use non-free software on my
Debian (Intel 3945ABG), so I completely understand that the above would
simply be bad for our users.
While I think this issue is restricted to installation images, or,
better, "distribution of stuff in main", a similar situation could be
seen for everything using the Debian Official Use Logo (specifically,
everything with the *word*, not the swirl), both because the font and
the logo itself are non-free:

<http://bugs.debian.org/587668>
Strangely enough, nothing of the above is present in the wikipage, but
it is in the main trademark page (linked from the main logo page):
<http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLogo>
<http://www.debian.org/trademark>
I consider this situation a very bad mess, given that since
6.0.0/squeeze there is an "official" fork of the word 'debian' in the
SpaceFun theme:

Thx, bye,

PS1, my first action would have been to report this as a bug, not to be
forgot, but then I was kind of lost about the package should be
reported to. Feel free to do that yourself or ask me ;-)
PS2, this could be included as part of a wider discussion about the
relationship between Debian and "distributors", the merchandise
part of which discussion is at:
<http://bugs.debian.org/613832>
