You don;t explain why being "doxxed" was a bad thing for you, or
indeed what the downside is for anyone, You simply assert that it is
a Bad Thing and must not happen. Would you like to give your reasons
for those assertions?

It doesn't matter how good our intentions are.
It doesn't matter how bad these people are.
We as a community choose to block, ban, lock, whether or not globally, the accounts of
people we deem unable to contribute.
We must not disclose unilaterally after the fact the identity of a contributor. And not
only because we may well have no clue about it. It may get them jailed for the wrong
reasons. It may get them harmed for their genuine contributions.
That MUST NOT (rfc2119 [1]) be how we handle things.
Once again, I cannot stress this enough.
Do not do this. This is a bad idea on so many levels. Pretty much all of them, really.

A good question. The stated object of global bans is "to help assure
the safety of users of the Wikimedia projects and/or assist in
preventing prohibited behavior that hinders dialogue, project
development and expansion". Identifying those persons banned as fully
as possible helps to achieve that assurance and protect the community.
