Another suggestion...

In a mediation that took place early on, a mediator asked information 
about ip number of two people.
He did not mean to have these publicly disclosed, but having that 
information apparently would have been great help for him to settle a 
few points in the mediation process.

He asked twice the mailing list, and never got any answer.
He finally had to ask Jimbo for help
By the time a developer was here and available and willing to help, the 
information was no more recoverable (so I understood).

I will cite some words by Jussi

Are there technical facilities besides the bulletin board that we could 
and should have at our disposal?

Or are there justifieable fears of misuse? Should there be a 
non-mediator (an arbitrator perhaps) specifically tasked with providing 
special technical assistance for mediators?

What do you think ?
