The time of last reply to the requestor is stored in the "Told"
field.  If you need more than that, you'll need to denormalize the
information by putting it into custom fields (updated via scrips), which
you can then query all at once using the /REST/1.0/search/ticket
endpoint and setting your "fields" to contain those CFs.

Alternately, you could write your own endpoint entirely.  That may also
still require denormalizing the data, as walking the transaction
history is unlikely to be performant, no matter how you slice it.
