As for the logos idea, it is a good one, but we should not add the
logos to the website: the license to the logo might not be all too
clear and we might not have the rights to redistribute it. It might be
better to link to their official logo location (at their webpages)
which could, in turn, be used to automatically (i.e. when building the
website) detect when a children distribution is presumed dead since if
the logo URL goes down then it is most probable that the distribution
is no longer active.
