Add faces of contributors to README

[dstebila]

I recently learned about this tool to add pictures of contributors to the project README. Is it worth adding?

Sure, why not?

Sure, why not?

Here's a probably "weirdo" European answer: Privacy.

Seeing pictures IMO arguably is OK when one is logged in to GH, where viewers "reciprocate" making available their own avatar. Exporting that to everyone viewing the README (possibly a much larger audience outside of GH) may not be to everyone's liking (I'm still undecided whether I'd object personally). Sure, the technical/legal "problem" lies with GH making these "pictures" available to external extraction and the tool to "amalgamate" them, but it'd be our decision to use these possibilities.

On second thought -- I don't like this: There's lots of "AI" crawling around stitching together an ever more complete picture of the world (if you pardon the pun) using publicly available user images. "Fine" if users gave their consent for this (say in return for cheap search results) but IMO not OK if one provided one's picture to (only) reciprocate to fellow developers also "opening up" within a walled garden (GH in this case).

Thus -unless hearing good arguments to the opposite- no approval from my side.

At least add reference to legal t's and c's explaining why this is legit.
