User URNs are not fetched

[FintanH]

When tracking remotes for a project we are fetching their version of the project, but we aren't fetching their users.

In the example below, this was a session where I replicated one project, and have 4 remotes, one of them being the maintainer. The other two top-level namespaces are my own user and the maintainer's user. The rest do not have an associated user in the monorepo.

In the example below, this was a session where I replicated one project, and have 4 remotes, one of them being the maintainer.

Are the remaining 3 directly or transitively tracked?

[FintanH]

Directly tracked, i.e. they're tracked by calling storage.track

[kim]

This is not technically a bug: you are tracking a project, not a person. The fact that you know one or more PeerIds, whose views on the project you're interested in, implies that you might also be interested in some identity which delegates to those PeerIds (that's potentially where you got them from). But it does not imply that you are automatically interested in replicating this identity -- this is why we have rad/self, which is only the minimal data needed to reify what top-level identity this peer is impersonating as.

Iow, if you also want the animated gifs and whatnot of those people, you need to explicity track what rad/self points to.

Alles klar, my misunderstanding so 👍 I'll move the ticket to upstream since we want those sweet gifs there
