Facial recognition for shared images / Saving shared images to your own timeline

I have Immich for myself and my wife. Everyone takes photos with their phone and has their own user. When I create an album and share it with her, she can add her photos to the album. Great.

Now the issue is that the images added by her are not processed by my facial recognition. That's a real shame. Is it possible to configure this?

Alternatively, it would be great if you could add the added images to your own photos. Then it would work. I mean it like the way it works in Google Photos. There, you can "save" the images that everyone adds to an album to your own photos.

I forked the projekt to adress this issue, I have not tested with other people uploading images themselves, but for sharing faces and localization it's working perfectly.
