I understand, to be honest my frustration is more from being under the
impression things were happening (after I felt like I had narrowed down to MVP
from the rest of the things I thought very important) and them not being. At
least some of that is, clearly, me not realizing when the conversation went in
another direction and, possibly, the tool itself not really being ready for
prime time at the scale we were hoping for (especially with the language issues
it and phabricator have) especially some frustration most of my other
preferences for the tool dying a death somewhere along the road here or
upstream (some understandably, some less so in my mind, but it doesn't really
matter why in the end). I clearly made too many assumptions about what was
being done. If I had understood the realities earlier on I likely would have
created a custom tool or just used email but that's water under the bridge for
now.

On our side this would likely work for the initial use case ('discovery') but
while the real name/email are not generally required we do need to get to them
when necessary. For that we would need to have some way to at least cross
reference the two lists and get the other information. That could take multiple
forms of course (The search function you talked about earlier, having one of
the 'normal' fields in the list as well etc).
