Description

As a team grows, managing members becomes a multi-person job.

It would be nice if the Keybase client would expose a report of when people were added to or removed from a team, and by whom.

That would make it easy for multiple admins to coordinate and double-check that additions to a team have been properly vetted. This is especially important when managing private teams, which may contain sensitive data.

IIRC Keybase already has to keep this information in a team's history, because admins must sign records which add people to a room, and people leaving a room triggers key regeneration. So hopefully this is just exposing data which already exists in a consumable report?

Is there a way to fetch this data (ex: from the CLI) in the meantime?

Research direction

Start with the Keybase CLI and the team's existing history records, including signed membership changes and room-leaving events. Determine the report's scope, access path, and expected output before implementation; done should make member additions and removals attributable by person and time, with a consumable way to fetch the data.
