The current Admin API to fetch abuse reports is not really convenient.

This gives homeserver administrators two possibilities:

  1. Write a script to fetch abuse reports from the admin API and publish it somewhere readable, typically a room. It's possible but annoying to implement and deploy.
  2. Configure a reverse proxy to intercept calls to /report and publish them somewhere readable, typically a room. Mjölnir recently started offering this feature but it's still a pain to configure correctly and extends the security perimeter of homeservers that use the feature.

We should consider the following change:

  • publish abuse reports directly to a room, as structured messages (possibly based on MSC3215);
  • let the admin pick a user id, room id, etc. in homeserver.yaml to determine which user will publish these reports and where;
  • encourage admins to adopt a bot to turn these structured messages into human-readable, internationalized, abuse reports.

  • log to room
