Comment (by imath):

 As discussed during latest dev-chat i've been working on a new "user flow"
 to set the user's avatar and cover image by adding 2 buttons directly
 inside the header that are using an improved version of the patch i've
 first posted on #6604.

 Thanks to this modal box, i was able to also work on the wp-admin/extended
 profile to set/delete/edit the user's cover image.

 Then, @r-a-y was right gray header! So i have no more objections about it
 Then, @r-a-y and @mercime were right about the options to disable/enable
 the feature being a "regular" user, i've added them.

 This made me realize that the `bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress
 /buddypress-functions.php` is never loaded inside WP Admin as it's loaded
 using `bp_locate_template()`. Meaning we can't use this file to set the
 default feature of the template pack (so far only cover image). As a
 result i've moved it inside `/bp-core/bp-core-theme-compatibility.php`.

 Finally, i've added the cover image to the Groups component:
 create/manage/administration screens. Here's a screenshot of it:

 So we have a first "full featured" patch. 6570.04.patch also includes
 6604.patch so it's easier to test it. And precisely we need now to test it
 to check everything is fine with all WordPress default themes. I've added
 filters and actions, but feel free to suggest new ones at key points.

 Also, once this gets in, maybe we should think about a new activity action
 e.g.: "imath changed their cover image"

 Oh and one more thing :)  Here's a video demonstrating the patch
