            Bug ID: 472962
           Summary: Use Libravatar at invent.kde.org instead of Gravatar.
    Classification: Websites
           Product: www.kde.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kde-www at kde.org
          Reporter: rvdois+RVU4Z9 at rokejulianlockhart.anonaddy.com
  Target Milestone: ---

OBSERVED RESULT
Currently, https://invent.kde.org appears to use Gravatar to acquire external
synchronized avatars.

EXPECTED RESULT
https://invent.kde.org should use Libravatar instead of Gravatar, because (at
least) due to what https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/793 states

> According to gravatar's privacy policy the data they collect with their service can be used for advertisement. Also the advised caching period with 300 seconds is quite short. All that in combination with the closed source backend makes it probably not the first choice for a free software project. Especially since we have libravatar around, which can be used as a drop in replacement (basically no development cost), does not collect user data and has no advertisement interests according to their privacy policy.

Regarding the statament that the replacement is drop-in,
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/libravatar.html provides the relevant
information. I agree with that assessment.
