Description

I generally dislike when users have no profile image. Because of that I would like to see if we could fall back further than just using gravitar with the csh email. I would like to see it fall back to use:
- Google account with gravitar if the user has added their Google account to profiles
- GitHub username profile image?
- See if we can grab RIT id photos

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing profile-image fallback path and how Google and GitHub accounts are represented; the issue names no files or tests. Define which sources are supported, how unavailable or private images are handled, and tests that confirm the selected fallback order.
