Right, that's not as bad as I thought (maybe someone has changed
that..? dunno, really), just: wouldn't it be better, if the images
opened in the browser without me having to download them/open them in
a different app?

Yes, having the image directly on the page without having to click
"plain" would probably help tremendously. Is that possible with cgit
at all?

That would be quite the economic idea. :) So, well, if you developers
don't mind designers committing to there regularly... On the other
hand, the artwork repository might occasionally use different licenses
from the rest of LibreOffice (i. e. CC etc.) and therefore it might be
good to have it separate (?).
