I don't think it's secrecy, I think it's privacy, and we should respect that.
When it comes down to it, we don't know the identity of many developers anyway, It's just a name that we may see has contributed to a few things here and there. I've never gone to look up who grunfink is, for example, nor have I felt the need to.
Personally, I'm OK with it. I think Stefano is a trustworthy person, so I am happy to have him vouch for the others.
