Thanks for your comments :-)
I suspect that opinions on this will be wide-ranging.
I'd be afraid it would limit how many images are shared. Personally, I only
share the SVG file once in a while. Offering the SVG file (in my view) makes it
too easy for someone to use it (for example, send to tshirt printer, or poster
printer, or change one little thing and claim as own, etc.). But I still might
like to show what I've made with Inkscape - just not make it so easy to steal
it.
However, I do think there are those in the community who would be very happy
with that kind of requirement. I think it has been considered, although perhaps
not discussed publicly.
I think having identified this new sort of class of spam (it's spam for us, the
Inkscape community), will result in a gallery which much better represents
Inkscape. I expect when I start to go retro with moderating this type of image
(back to when the CoC was published) it will remove a lot of unrelated images.
Thanks again,
brynn

How about requiring that people also upload the corresponding inkscape
file? I think a gallery with ten high-quality images and the source
files is way more helpful than thousand images without any idea of how
they can be made with inkscape.
