Yeah, I can split the figure into another patch for the next round.
Though one could argue the same for other files -- do you prefer to
have more granular patches in general?

Yeah, I made the logo, but I reused the SVG forms of both the Rust and
the Tux logos.

The Tux SVG conversion (from Larry Ewing's one) was done by Garrett
LeSage and IFo Hancroft, please see
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220207014418.GA28724@xxxxxxxxxx/ for
details on that one.

I will add these details to the split patch.

I think the Tux SVG logo would be the most useful for other projects,
which is why I submitted it to be added to the tree with the
permission of Garrett and IFo (see link above). I am not sure if other
open-source projects would need the Rust for Linux one, though, so it
sounds like a good idea. I am happy to split the patch, clarify the
origin and to add a `COPYING-logo` to the `Documentation/rust` folder
too (pointing to the main one at `Documentation/` maybe).

Cheers,
Miguel
