Yes, IIRC we had security complaints about people being able to enumerate
all users without being logged in. Since it's not just users who submitted
any data, it was enough to just having clicked a link once...

If it was restricted to only show those that had actually submitted into it
would've probably been considered OK - but at the time it was not
considered to be worth the effort to split those up.
