browser console showing requests
Gerrit appears to have some kind of Gravatar support baked in. We don't have any graphical avatars, but we don't disable the feature either, with the result that Gerrit keeps making attempts to fetch avatars, all of which fail with a 404. These requests are ineffectual and expensive. Could we eliminate them?

Yeah this is stupid, I filed a bug upstream about it some time ago: https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1987
We could actually install a plugin that would allow avatars from a predefined URL source (like Commons or Wikitech) if that's something people want (I don't want to install Gravatar though).

No please. (However, to be fair: perhaps worth noting that TwnMainPage uses them.)
