Description
Hi,
would it be possible to have an indicator whether the user hosts his private key on keybase?
There are a few projects, which are now going to partially reject and delete keys of their keyring if they found the key on keybase. (For example the _Debian Project_)
I can understand this and would NEVER host my private key on the internet.
I really cannot understand why you guys allowed and implemented such a thing, but I am drifting away.
Maybe you could show some kind of notice, that a user is NOT hosting their private key on keybase.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #589 and its linked Debian mailing-list example, then review the 13-comment thread for any settled direction. Done means an agreed indicator clearly communicates whether a user hosts a private key on Keybase; the issue does not name a file, test, or entry point.
