Can we have support for .GIF's for profile display picture (dp)?

Feature Request 🦄 :

Currently, GitHub only supports .png/.jpeg/.jpg as a valid upload format for profile images. Can we expect an update supporting .gif images keeping the limelight on the same? I do understand that adding support for .gif in the list might add extra overhead in terms of both storage and computation performed in compressing and preserving the images in DB, but still, I believe most will consider it as a major feature upgrade in terms of aesthetics.

P.S. : As of now, only markdown supports .gif's & .mp4

Thoughts?

Of course. That would be a great feature update that every user expects.
