Description
Not everyone has a Gravatar setup, and asking someone non-technical to do this isn't always a 'smooth procedure'. In our case, our WordCamp is new, and so a good portion of our speakers are not from the WP community, they’re marketers, designers etc. less technical people, and asking them to create a gravatar (which in turn means a wp.com ) account, is more difficult than just asking them to email their photo.
A solution to this would be (and tbh, how I expected it to work), allowing Featured Images on the Speaker post type, then some frontend logic to use that image if it exists, otherwise use gravatar.

Hi Robey, it turns out there's already a discussion about this going on here: https://github.com/WordPress/wordcamp.org/issues/180
