Comment:

 Good catch @afercia :)

 It guess the problem is related to a misuse of `get_avatar( )` function
 all around wordpress-meta.
 https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_avatar

 `alt` parameter of this function seems always ommitted so there is almost
 no alt attribute at all.

 IMO, there is two ways to fix it:
 - Fix `get_avatar( )` use in all wordpress-meta repo by adding an empty
 `alt` parameter.
 - Fix `get_avatar( )` function to set `alt` parameter by default to `''`
 and fix this issue in the whole WP ecosystem :P

 I can work on both solutions. What do you prefer?

 Cheers,
 Jb
