Comment (by nacin):

 Some thoughts:
  * Why five? Design reasons? Or is this arbitrary? Could we allow 10 if we
 wanted? Or an arbitrary number?
  * Screenshots are not tiny, and are getting bigger due to responsive and
 retina adjustments. We may be better off keeping these out of the zip and
 serving them from the WP.org CDN. (matveb actually suggested this.)
  * Why non-PNGs? Core will detect any screenshot type currently, but
 wordpress.org's themes directory will only allow PNG. Supporting only PNG
 for screenshot-2+ seems like no loss of functionality, if that was the
 concern. On the other hand: JPGs of course compress better and maybe it's
 time to allow those so authors can use them when they see fit?
