User story: As a new user, when I authenticate with GitHub, my profile image should automatically become whatever my GitHub profile image is.

According to @codinghorror this is not currently on the roadmap. I am not 100% sure whether this should be a plugin or an option in available in Discourse. It sounds like a plugin would be the faster route, unless this is a feature that other admins would benefit from.
