Comment (by pputzer):

 A sample implementation of a possible solution to the privacy issues is
 available in the form of [https://wordpress.org/plugins/avatar-privacy/
 Avatar Privacy]. The plugin uses a salted hash (SHA256) as the on-site
 identifier and caches the gravatars locally (it also does some other
 things that do not directly apply to this issue, such as adding a
 Gravatar.com consent checkbox to the comment form).
