[digiKam-users] Face tag workflow

[Maik Qualmann]

As part of GSoC-2020, a student is currently working on improvements to the 
faceengine workflow. Also on the buttons you mentioned. A larger, pre-
calculated face detection model is available. This will work much better, but 
due to its size we will make it available for download. A another student is 
also working on this as part of the GSoC-2020.
