      We're dropping Gravatar avatars (privacy issues and whatnot). While it's fine to not have any avatars in the short term, I'd kinda like to see them come back eventually. It was suggested that since Discourse already stores avatars, we could just reuse them in other projects.

          A year ago Gravatar was scraped. Now a large part of the MD5 email address hashes were cracked:

          A good opportunity to finally move away from Gravatar.

          The two upstream API options are /admin/users/{id}.json (possibly preferable, but also possibly overkill) and /users/{username}.json (public endpoint, so doesn't require any authentication).

          During summit 18 we agreed to proceed with this option. We need to change our avatar code to use the Discourse avatars, which might require an extra layer between MusicBrainz editor rowids and discourse IDs (that could just directly return the image instead).
