 Today, if you create a gallery with X images, you cannot define one
 specific image to appear as cover image for the whole gallery.

 Couldn't we use {{{the_post_thumbnail}}}, and say that the cover of the
 album is the Featured image when there is one defined?

 That's something that can be defined in the theme (see file attached), but
 I think it would be nice to have an option in core to define a cover image
 for each gallery.

 What do you think?
