Research direction

Start by reading tap8.md, then review pull request #20 and the linked TUF mailing-list discussion. Identify whether the key-rotation and explicit self-revocation proposal has reached agreement; done means the TAP 8 document reflects the resolved direction and the discussion is no longer open-ended.
