Well, they would only show up on a subdomain, and not be visible
immediately on the main website. You can also use a pre-commit check
in Git to allow only .png images up to a certain size, to prevent
people from uploading other stuff to the repository.
That doesn't prevent anyone from replacing all KDE screenshots with
cute cat pictures of course, but I do trust the KDE community on that
:)
