NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
To the extent we ship Andreas' JIRA avatars inside of JIRA, we'll need a way for users to have consistent avatars across all Atlassian products.
A third party created the Confluence Avatar Server plugin specifically to "allow confluence avatars to be used in fisheye in an effort to maintain consistent identities across tools."
However, according to MattR:
One serious problem with that plugin: it loads all the users in the system at start-up, whenever a user is added or removed, and whenever a gravatar is requested. The email-hash-to-username mapping is also regenerated for every user at startup and whenever a user is added or removed. It may work fine in instances with a few hundred users, but will probably quickly grind your Confluence instance to a halt after that. The lack of concurrency protection on the mapping HashMap is also a grave concern, given it is potentially read and updated quite frequently.
I think it would be best if this functionality was implemented in the applications. It isn't particularly hard, but it needs to be done in the application to have acceptable performance, I think.
Therefore, we need a way for Confluence to at least publish avatars.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for participating in this issue, either by voting, commenting or just watching. We highly value your feedback in all forms, and through suggestions in jira.atlassian.com is not different. We use this channel to learn the best we can with how customers use Confluence and how we can continue to improve the experience for as many users as possible.
Confluence no longer has its own Avatars and rather has centralized Avatars coming from Atlassian Identity. This way use has one identity among different Atlassian Cloud products. As of now, we do not have any way to extend Atlassian Identity Avatars.
Thanks,
Shrey Luthra
