Hi folks,

having just read a thread with a bunch of replies (> 20), it occurred to
me that an avatar on each page would have helped. I'm attaching a patch
against an html page to show what you could use (shamelessly stolen from
the BTS). Besides the "float: right" bit, let's see what that does:
  
http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/4c078242b0a02b3f681bcc61f8a42fe0?d=http://bugs.debian.org/css/1x1.png

cdn.libravatar.org is just what the BTS uses, I have no specific insight
about it (besides what https://www.libravatar.org/ says…).

The ID can be computed using the Gravatar::URL perl module, example:
| $ perl -MGravatar::URL -e 'print gravatar_id("kibi\@debian.org"), "\n";'
| 4c078242b0a02b3f681bcc61f8a42fe0

The 'd=' parameter is the default image to be used when there's no avatar
available. Probably just a tiny empty file to drop onto lists.d.o as that
was done on bugs.d.o.

Thanks for considering.

Mraw,
KiBi.
