Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"59532" 59532]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59532"
 Privacy: Use SHA-256 hashing algorithm for Gravatar.

 This aims to improve privacy by switching to a more secure algorithm, as
 an MD5 string can be reversed.

 Follow-up to [6748], [31107].

 Props henry.wright, jucaduca, haozi, desrosj, dd32, SergeyBiryukov.
