The most straightforward way to approach this is to write a little Scrip
which adds anyone who touches a ticket to either your ticket-level
"Work By" CustomField or to the ticket AdminCcs.

That way the tracking happens automatically at the ticket level (where
it's easy to search for) rather than your techs having to tag themselves
on each transaction.
