Comment (by matt):
It's exciting to see this older ticket picking up so much steam.
Implementing user uploads and customization of local avatars introduces a
lot of actual and potential complexity, and may have unintended security
consequences or surface area, as we found with our comment moderation
changes recently. (BuddyPress is a good example of this!) There are also
easy plugin ways to change how avatars work, so we likely aren't going to
have a big impact on the world or WP's adoption by bringing this into
core.
From an every day usability point of view, we have some very important
items on our roadmap!
Let me use this opportunity to point to our progress on the 9 projects we
set out to accomplish last year:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/12/06/update-9-projects-for-2019/
And the scope for 5.5:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/05/13/wordpress-5-5-planning-roundup/
An effort I would be very interested in supporting is creating a featured
plugin, like a Gutenberg for privacy, that would be de-coupled from the
core release schedule and iterate on providing the most control and
flexibility for site administrators to customize the privacy options on
their site relevant to their audience and priorities. The privacy working
group could have a lot of autonomy for choosing what to prioritize within
this plugin, and we could hopefully attract a wider array of global
contributors and create more collaboration on a single plugin where right
now we have developers making many separate plugins to solve some of the
same issues.
That discussion is out of scope for this ticket and we should continue the
discussion on the relevant P2s and Slack meetings, but I just didn't want
to lose the energy we have here given this particular issue isn't a good
fit for 5.5.
