Description

Context

Banning users that are no longer connected to the server.

Description

Currently Mumble has no way to ban users that have left the server. Client should locally store all required info of users that are in chat history (including auto announcements like someone joining channel) to allow right click ban option. Currently nothing happens if you right click someone's nickname after the left the server. This should change.

Research direction
Investigate how Mumble tracks user sessions and where user info is stored. Identify the client side data structures that hold user list and history. Look into the right click context menu implementation to see how ban action is triggered for connected users. Propose storing necessary user info (IP, certificate hash) locally in the client's chat history to enable banning disconnected users.
