We haven't started on a PHP library as of yet. Most of our team is on the Ruby/Node side of things. Would be happy to work with you on the PHP version though! Feel free to email me gregarious AT getchute DOT com

Yes, you are right that you need to get a user to identify themselves on a service. Auth is definitely the most common methods, but for many services you can simply as for a username (ex. twitter or instagram). We definitely recognize that

I think if your app is based solely on email addresses now, Gravatar will serve you well. When we started building this service, a lot of people wanted a simple way to handle their own avatars - that is letting users upload their own photos

I added a little bit more to this post. I realized, thanks to your comment, that it started in one place and ended in another. I'll continue to expand on all these topics in the future. Thanks for the kick!
