In the meantime the publicity-team/bits repo had moved on.
I have rebased the MR on current master and checked if we can add Image fields to any of the new posts in the last 3 weeks.
Turns out only content/2019/minidebconf-vaumarcus-open-registration.md has one.

I think that file is present to make sure that on a freshly cloned repo the output dir is present (git refuses to check in empty dirs)
So I have reinstated it.

Once it's published on bits.debian.org, the final check will be sharing one of the post links in Mastodon or Twitter or testing it here:
