Description
TUF applications such as tuf-on-ci or RSTUF would benefit from a tool to produce a human readable / visual representation of the TUF metadata repository they drive, e.g. for auditing purposes or to review changes.
This issue is a place to discuss the different use cases and requirements for such a tool.
