NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? 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.
Furthermore, we also need a way to consume avatars. I'd imagine an interface similar to that of FishEye:

[CONFSERVER-19636] Add support for Gravatars in Confluence both for inclusion and export
Gravatar for Confluence looks to now be Archived (last modified 2023-01-25).
Are there any other ways of connecting Gravatar to Confluence user profiles? Seems inconsistent to have this function for Jira and not for Confluence.
555 Votes - but still no reaction from Atlassian. It is supported by the way in Bitbucket and Jira...
Situation is getting even worse now Gravatar for Confluence is not free anymore and Atlassian seams to be deaf on levelling Confluence to this basic feature available on the other products of the suite.
I cannot see why they are failing to implement a feature that nowadays is somethis so basic for any product
Just went through the effort to add a API to our web platform to act as a gravatar server, just to find out that I can now have our users have the same Avatars everywhere... besides on confluence.
Can't imagine this being that hard to implement, considering there is a (now outdated and non-working) app to add support: https://bitbucket.org/vicox/confluence-gravatar/src
Did not realise this was not a thing today until I got confluence setup again, given the cloud uses central logins, and one of the recommended deployments is to use the Jira user database across other projects, Bitbucket seamless pulls down profile pictures, but Confluence does not, and it looks rather inconsistent. Would really appreciate this being added

This is a much needed feature despite how "lowly" it looks on the scrum board.
Having all our users uploading the same profile image repeatedly over Jira, Confluence, Crowd, Bitbucket and more... is pushing back the idea of making it "fun" for higher adoption rate.
As of this comment's date, it has been FIFTEEN YEARS this request has existed and now has 567 votes.
