Why do we want to remove them? Currently:

3.2M    todo
1.4M    bugs


so it's not a huge reduction of image size (the above numbers don't take
compression into account). Of course, any "free" reduction is welcome.

However, an issue this would bring is that bugs/ and todo/ are
referenced on several places in doc/ and contribute/. Check e.g.

    git grep 'bugs/\|todo/' wiki/src/{doc,contribute}


Without having checked whether these references are all necessary, this
is something we'd have to take into account.

Cheers!
