You merely have to provide a package for review according to the 
packaging guidelines, respond to comments and fix up issues and continue 
maintaining them.

It stops when people lose interest or when the images are questionable. 
I can't see why anyone would package tons of images in Fedora Extras. We 
will get to solve it when we reach that point.

We already specify a limitation of not allowing content in the packaging 
guidelines.

This specifically says that wallpapers are allowed. If someone packages 
up a lot of wallpapers, thats their choice. If there are problems with 
that, we will discuss it when it happens. Arguing about these kind of 
stuff therotically is useless.
