Comment (by KZeni):

 It was great to see GitHub's profile links apply `rel="me"` which then
 added Mastodon support a while back, and I've been hoping something
 similar would happen with the WordPress.org profile links to help confirm
 the connection between the various profiles.

 It's a bit of a bummer to see this has been kicking around for almost half
 a year now, and the fact that there has been more time of inactivity since
 this was last mentioned than there was activity when this was originally
 being discussed (when it would still be a great thing to implement.)

 I do understand the items brought up by
 https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6682#comment:1 pointing out how
 these links are from Gravatar and Gravatar uses JSON for supplying those
 details so it's currently just being displayed these using JavaScript
 rather than what would actually be needed for this (such as
 parsing/caching of this Gravatar JSON data server-side to then be output
 directly on the page [rather than relying on JavaScript that's likely
 overlooked by anything checking for `rel="me"` links] or having it where
 those are fields within the WP.org profile that don't rely on Gravatar to
 provide those links.)

 I'm thinking that keeping the Gravatar setup & making those links be
 pulled (from Gravatar), parsed, cached, and output server-side is the
 better option, but let me know if I'm forgetting any other possible
 approaches for this.
