Description
Hide noisy m.room.member events until Hydrogen collapses into summaries.
While I don't want to hide any events from the timeline really, some rooms are pretty bombarded with joins and makes the experience less than ideal:

Research direction
Start by locating the timeline event rendering and any existing handling for m.room.member events, then read how Hydrogen is expected to collapse membership events into summaries. Done means noisy membership events are no longer shown individually while the underlying events remain available for later summary behavior.
