Research direction

Start by reading the TUF metadata types overview and the tuf-on-ci visualization prototype linked in the issue. Compare the use cases and requirements discussed there with the needs of tuf-on-ci and RSTUF. This issue is ready to move forward when the tool's scope and requirements are agreed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

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.
