Keybase is effectively in maintenance mode after being acquihired by Zoom.

If anything, Signal should adopt some of the crypto identity primitives Keybase was known for [1] for persona management that builds on (but still supports) phone DID identifiers. Would Zoom sell or donate Keybase infra to Signal Foundation? That'd be swank.

Even calling it "maintenance mode" is a bit too generous. It's effectively abandoned. Which is a shame, I really liked it and its various features.
