You're definitely *not* encouraging me to help.
Being impolite with potential external contributors does not seem to be
a good strategy...

I don't even use BMPx, but I care about Debian abiding by its Social
Contract.  That's why I spoke up and expressed my opinion on how this
bug is being dealt with.

The issue is that some icons included in the package do not comply with
the DFSG.  The package is in main, so this is a serious Policy
violation.
That's an issue from Debian point of view, not necessarily from
upstream's standpoint...

You are the Debian maintainer of the package, so it's up to you to fix
the bug or else move the package to non-free.  You could get help from
other people, but, as I said above, being rude does not usually
encourage people to contribute...
