Regardless of the intent and the explanations that @kernc provided in #152 and #310, the unfortunate reality (in much of the world) is that swastikas today are much more widely recognized as/associated with Nazism than with Buddhism or anything benign. Note the following line from Wikipedia:

in the West it continues to be strongly associated with Nazism, antisemitism, white supremacism, or simply evil.

Given the lack of context/explanation regarding its presence on the website, it comes across at best as being in poor taste and at worst as a covert endorsement of Nazi ideology. As far as I can tell, there is no good reason for it to be there, so I think it should be removed. This PR replaces it with content that utilizes the credits.mako file/template as intended.

It looks like this has not actually been completed. @kernc, was this closed on accident?
