Closes #21402
Description
As of #18001 we resolve bot avatars differently than we do regular commit authors. This is because looking up bot avatars by their email is broken on avatars.githubapp.com. So instead we look to see if the author ends with
[bot]in which case we resolve the bot via the API and return its avatar URL. This works well except in the case of Copilot where the login part in the stealth email doesn't accurately reflect the login of the bot. So we'll have to hardcode theidof the bot and its integration to get it to display properly.While I was at this I also addressed the issue in #21402 in which the z-index of the avatars in an avatar stack was broken causing avatars further into the stack to obscure previous ones.
Lastly I simplified the
CommitAttributioncomponent to make sure it accurately reflect the same number of "people" that the avatar stack shows by having it operate on the same array of avatar users.Screenshots
