 Some discussion here:

 Contributors are returned by the API as an array of (username =>
 profile_url) pairs. The username string is used to generate the avatar
 (via wp.org's grav-redirect.php endpoint).  That's not great, but it does
 avoid revealing contributors emails.

 Fixing it would require a new structure that allows for at least 3 items
 per contributor: gravatar identifier; display name; and url.  That's not
 going to happen for 4.0 but it's worth revisiting in 4.1, since it'd also
 allow the possibility of eliminating those grav-redirect hops.
