      Hi!

      I just signed up to MusicBrainz and recognized that you allow the profile to be fetched from Gravatar. While this is a nice feature, I'd love to see the option to use Libravatar (www.libravatar.org) instead. It provides the same API and even if the avatar image isn't found on Libravatar, it anonymously proxies to Gravatar and therefore provides more user privacy.

      Basically, you just need to replace the base URL and you're done. Libravatar additionally provides the functionality of 'federation', which requires DNS lookups to be done, but only a small percentage of the user base is actually using that functionality.

      I'm open this against 'OTHER', since I can imagine some other sites you created have a similar functionality.

       

      Thanks for considering this,

       Oliver
