Why do you care? A picture of cleavage is just as valid as a picture of anything else.
somehow i have the suspicion that no: he chose it on purpose, because, you know: BOOBS!

I don't know who this Nicu guy is and what his relationship with the Gimp project, but a look at his LinkedIn profile reveals that he was a developer 8 years before changing careers to photography for the last 3.
However his blog post is #11 under the Google search for "gimp 2.8", so the level of professionalism can leave a bad impression for new users.
In order to succeed in the new economy, to move aggressively into the era of e-business, e-commerce, and the web, companies have to rid themselves of their Dilbert manifestations of make-work and arcane policies.
