     there is always a tension between publicity and privacy in this
     situations. you want participants to help with the projecy, but
     you don't want detractors or malicious individuals drawing focus
     away from getting work done.
     in the ideal world, a decentralized reputation system would
     scrutinize potential members before incorporating them into a
     group. in practice, we always seem to rely on real-world
     networks and digital groups with poor reputation metrics.
     overall, i think the benefits of publicity outweight the
     potential harms. it's better to be open!

   It's good to be open if you have crucial new design information and
   don't need to finish.
   But you need something to keep the work alive first if it can be used
   to subvert a major dictatorship or law enforcement tactic.
   It's really great to be open!  It's needed!  But using your real name
   puts your entire project at risk.

     YMMV
     best regards,
