Description

We already have two ideas linked below similar to this

refs #2436 refs #2428

While many Apache Software Foundation (ASF) projects stick to a classic, text-heavy "Apache Way" aesthetic, a new generation of Top-Level Projects (TLPs) has embraced modern web design. These projects often feature sleek UI, clear branding, and dedicated "Community" or "Team" pages with high-quality avatars and contributor profiles.

I think avatars should be stored with the site so PMC and Committers can choose their avatar if needed.

Research direction
Examine referenced issues #2436 and #2428 for prior discussion. Investigate the website codebase (likely in a separate repository or subdirectory) to understand current PMC and committers page implementation. Examples from other ASF projects (ECharts, APISIX, Airflow) can guide design. Determine if avatars should be pulled from external service (e.g., GitHub) or stored locally.
