Hi Sarah,
It is customary to collect the e-mail ids of the participants while they register for the workshop/edit-a-thon. They are being followed up over e-mail. The participants have created Wikimedia accounts during the edit-a-thon. I am not sure if their usernames have been recorded for contacting them in future.
