Yep, but there is a difference between the information being available, and it being actively feeded to the NSA or whoever. And it is especially bothering if this cause undue delay in our normal activities, like aj is saying it is. Furthermore, sure there are no anonymous debian developer, but still the real identity is known only to debian, so theoretically we could hide it from the outside if we wanted.
