Comment (by strk):

 Libravatar was requested with #1688 (for the record).
 I left a request to bring the Libravatar back to life in
 https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension_talk%3ALibravatar#We'd_like_to_bring_this_back_to_life

 Can you try setting that variable to libravatar.org for a start ? Ideally
 we'd run our own libravatar service, so to not send all traffic to
 libravatar.org, but until then, libravatar.org is a tad better than
 gravatar.com, if not else it should be already looking up DNS and thus
 allowing us to serve our avatars from a server of our choice.

 Beside the variable I guess when we do that we'd also want to leave a note
 to users about what they are REALLY enabling with the relevant checkbox in
