It's data that's already being published by themselves when they publish anything into the mailing lists. Their name and email. This will not violate any law. And making it public is just following Debian's Social Contract: not hidding our problems. Transparency in all our procedures is crucial for a project like Debian and that's why I support Steve's request. This will allow to know why people gets banned too, so we can make the administrator accountable for their decisions. I think this is a win-win situation.
