and if so, how/where should we be allowed to mention/document/promote
the images containing non-free firmware?

Currently the existing images containing non-free firmware are
mentioned on the download page linked from the website front page,
but are labelled "unofficial" and in the "Other Installers" section.

The longer older download pages similarly labels the non-free firmware
images as "unofficial" and mention them at the very end of the page.

The even older Debian CD page doesn't mention non-free firmware at all.

https://www.debian.org/CD/

The Debian installation guide has sections on non-free firmware, the
first one seems to be outdated as it seems to imply the firmware images
are not possible.
