I was doxxed by someone in the movement a few years ago, and I cannot stress this enough : WE MUST NOT DOXX PEOPLE. It doesn't matter how good our intentions are. It doesn't matter how bad these people are. We as a community choose to block, ban, lock, whether or not globally, the accounts of people we deem unable to contribute. We must not disclose unilaterally after the fact the identity of a contributor. And not only because we may well have no clue about it. It may get them jailed for the wrong reasons. It may get them harmed for their genuine contributions. That MUST NOT (rfc2119 [1]) be how we handle things. Once again, I cannot stress this enough.
Do not do this. This is a bad idea on so many levels. Pretty much all of them, really.

Why do you think this is important and what real purpose do you think this will serve?
A good question. The stated object of global bans is "to help assure the safety of users of the Wikimedia projects and/or assist in preventing prohibited behavior that hinders dialogue, project development and expansion". Identifying those persons banned as fully as possible helps to achieve that assurance and protect the community.
