Describe the bug

When I look into the history of my repo in GitHub Desktop, commits generated by dependabot (and maybe other bots) have the default GitHub avatar beside them.

Version & OS

OS: Windows 11
GH Desktop: Version 2.9.1-beta2 (x64)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Go to a repo (any with Dependabot will do)
  2. Go to the commit history
  3. Find a Dependabot commit

Expected behavior

It would be better to include the Dependabot's profile picture or avatar in the history, as seeing commits done by this avatar-less user looks like it is a real user with a GitHub profile.

Actual behavior

This avatar is shown for the dependabot user:
