I think without the IP completely eliminates the concern, with the IP however is concerning and would want to be limited to just Checkusers (and related, stewards obviously count as well). The major use case that I've seen listed in the request is to see whether the filter is successful/useful (and potentially I guess if people are trying, and being blocked, from making legitimate accounts). Is that the main use case? For that use case having the IP/requester doesn't actually seem horribly useful and we should only reveal an IP if we have a strong use case for it. Do the stewards or others believe that the IP/requester would be useful itself? (and what would be the primary use case for it). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
