Disclaimer: I'm not yet on KF5 (or git...), therefore I haven't checked this
implementation.

While it's surely a very nice feature, we mustn't forget privacy issues. By
quickly scanning through the two commits above I see you check if
GravatarSupport is enabled in GlobalSettings. But not knowing the code I'm not
sure if this is a user set-able entry and/or if it's set by default.

I'd expect many people not being happy if KAddressBook or KMail sends their
(hashed) contacts to a third party service on the internet without asking
first. So should this be the case, I'd propose adding some KCM or at least
local configuration option to _manually_ enable this (could be proposed in a
popup if it's too hidden otherwise).

If you already thought about that and implemented it (somewhere else) I'm glad
to see KDEPIM gaining more nice features and thank you for your great work :)
