I don't think the amount of carefulness that a keybase user needs to do is unreasonable. (In other words, the person who gets tricked here may be unreasonably lazy)
For instance, the hypothetical "I want to track twitter.com/ev" person, who tries "keybase track ev".
Keybase client responds with:
✔ public key fingerprint: 1206 AE26 8AD6 8171 5390 7EC5 2E5D F3D2 4DC0 DE19
✔ "not_ev" on twitter: https://twitter.com/not_ev/status/448871129671680001 https://twitter.com/not_ev/status/448871129671680001
Is this the ev you wanted? [y/N] n
...To which, it's not unreasonable to expect any person to note that this person is "not_ev". It would be really sloppy to pull the trigger on this.
I would recommend personally clicking through all the Twitter/Github links to make sure they're not some carefully made impersonator account, but even doing the bare minimum (reading the output of "keybase track") should get you there.
