Publishing the bans gives us the opportunity to congratulate or castigate the listmasters (in private!) for their action. This will give the listmasters much better feedback on their thresholds and criteria for disciplinary action. For example, it would be much easier to write to the listmasters and say "thanks for acting; I would have preferred it if you could have stepped in sooner".
