Implement a simple helper to search registered peers of a given user.

Implement a simple helper to search registered peers of a given user to help site operators quickly detect issues with peer acceptance and End date.

This doesn't sit comfortably with me.

First, we've generally tried to make CLI tools have a formal main() method. Second, I believe a CLI tool should be introduced in line with our new conventions which, to my understanding would suggest it be placed into the sbin directory.

Thanks for the input 👍
The reason for this is that it's a ~99% copy/paste of the existing searchusers.py script in the same folder. I made it based on an explicit discussion with our support team colleagues about their (lack of) access to search registered peers of an employee.
Note that I intentionally left it as a draft because I wanted to record that it is something we want but didn't have time to finish it.

I see two paths ahead:
a) we fast-track the inclusion and merge (or manually install) something they can use as-is
b) we postpone it until we have a style-compliant version with unit tests in line with the FHSesque layout .

I can live with either, but agree that the long-term goal is definitely (b). I think we have the concrete use-case solved so not sure how urgently a generally available solution is.

Hey - thanks for the response, and a 👍 wrt it being a draft.

Appreciate it's meant to immediately satisfy a requirement - given it's a pressing need and knowing that we're aware we'll need to revisit it I think moving forward likely makes sense. In this case it might even be better what's here isn't "pretending" to be a solution into the future and that clarity at the outset is helpful.
