Description
I received the following warning when verifying an identity of someone I know in real life with whom I have manually verified PGP key fingerprints prior to using keybase.io. I definitely know his identity. It says this:
We found an account for foo, but they haven't proved their identity. Still accept them? [y/N]
Perhaps it would be helpful to add something like "proved their identity to keybase, but if you have previously verified the PGP fingerprint, carry on.
Will keybase eventually sign PGP keys for identity proof?

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line warning shown in the issue and read the surrounding identity-verification flow. Clarify whether the goal is revised wording or future PGP signing support; done should mean the message accurately distinguishes Keybase verification from prior manual PGP fingerprint verification.
