"listed behind their backs"? "hidden from Google"? Um.
We're writing an encyclopedia here. Occasionally, we need to compile
lists of names of people working on the project and doing this or
that, in order to help the project run efficiently.
Is there some kind of problem here? Are we assuming that any list with
usernames on it, no matter how trivial or banal, is now somehow a
dangerous damaging thing that can't be permitted without the consent
of those mentioned?

There are dozens of reasons why someone might
not have email enabled - having left Wikipaedia,
being on wikibreak, odd privacy concerns, not
involved in blocking people, having offered alternative
off-wiki communication, not knowing their email was
disabled, etc.
My point is, you can't understand why just from looking
at a list, but everyone has a reason, and that makes all
the difference.
