I would keep the images (or most images) in git proper.  They do not change
that often, and aren't actually that big.  I did not find a single one that
exceeded 1MB in
<https://gitlab.dune-project.org/infrastructure/dune-website/tree/master/static/img>.
And it would allow to edit and test most of the website without having to
install git-lfs (which seems to be a problem, see the ITP
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792075).

MfG,
Jö.
