Thought I would pass along this idea.

Tom -

You might suggest to "randall" to copy and re-write the 
'wp_list_authors" function and include an option for the use of Gravatars.

Based on the code in trunk here: 
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/author-template.php

I would likely start at inserting around line 303 ...

Just a thought, didn't want to step on your review to suggest it directly.


Cais.

    Have you tried <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta(
    'user_email' )); ?> , or something similar for pulling the Avatar? 
    Look on line 37 of
    http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-content/themes/twentyten/single.php,
    as I suggested below for the code used in the default  (in 3.0)
    WordPress theme.  They add a gravatar to single.php without a DB query.
