Implementing this will make the user profiles and posts in bug reports look more personalised.

Please don't use Gravatar for this, which is centralized and proprietary. Instead, use libravatar[1] which is free software, optionally selfhostable, and will fall back to Gravatar if nothing is resolved "natively".

Sounds like a good alternative. One can also leave it to the user:
- upload image
- use libravatar
- use gravatar
- none
