The deployment documentation says that I should configure an upfiles/ directory.

However, the askbot nginx deployment instructions don't make any mention of upfiles/

Is this necessary? What is it used for?

askbot/upfiles directory is used to save uploaded images, so it needs to be writable by the server process.

That nginx doc needs an update, what you would want - is serve files from that directory by the webserver, bypassing python.
