I did a patch to enable end user to migrate User Picture Files from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8.

Thank you @miguelc303 for providing this, but it turns out that this migration won't be needed at all! :)

The reason is that, unlike Drupal 6, Drupal 7 provides a unified way to handle files (the file_managed table, maintained by the System module). Drupal 6's lack of a coherent file management system necessitates several migrations for moving files around, but D7 renders this moot. So for the Drupal 7 migration path, the file_managed table will be migrated in one fell swoop, and then the d7_user migration will have an optional dependency on it. Simpler, no?

@phenaproxima i understood your point and you right , is simpler but i don't understand the process to migrated the table in one fell swoop , so can you explain me please how do this ?

@miguelc303,we've already written the D7 migration for files: #2503861: Migrate file_managed table to file entities. Take a look at that -- hopefully it will be clearer what's happening here. I figure the code can explain it better than I can :)

@phenaproxima i was working in others patches, in order to migrate files and upload_files from drupal 7 to drupal 8 , first was necessary migrate the nodes but if the table file_manged will be migrated in one fell swoop then dont will be necessary migrate the files classes ? I appreciate if we can talk about this for Skipe because i feel a little confused.
