Description

When I issue the command to track a user, that users key is not pulled into my pgp keyring. For example, I issued:

keybase track shannonmorse

and Keybase told me it tracked her. However, when I look at my pgp keys, she is not listed. I'm confused because, as I understood it from the documentation, tracked users are supposed to be pulled into pgp automatically.

Research direction

Start by reproducing `keybase track shannonmorse` and checking whether the tracked user appears in the PGP keyring. Compare the observed behavior with the documentation statement that tracked users are imported automatically. Done means the command and documented expectation are consistent, with the key appearing in the keyring when appropriate.
