Admin options for default avatar (if available)

[acamarata]

When someone creates a new account, especially via OAuth, they often have an avatar but RC defaults to their initials as an avatar. Proposing an option in the Admin section to over-ride that if Gravatar or something else finds a match.

Gravatar is a good idea

I would also like this feature

Gravatar can be a good idea, but the OAuth providers can also be in this list

[acamarata]

The suggestion was not to limit what is already there but have an "if
gravatar exists" use that by default rather than the letters. Could use
any avatar that exists at all (Facebook, etc.) before using the letters as
an "only if no avatar exists" as the default behavior. People can disable
the avatar for letters by choice though.

It would be good to have a setting to use full name instead of the username for the avatar initials

Any hope to have it? I think that have gravatar as default can improve the UX

@marceloschmidt is working on this right now.

@engelgabriel will #5045 also be merged at some point as part of this, as this will be more useful than username for us

[engelgabriel]

it will eventually. We still need to finishing some some work on the caching layer before it.
