Maybe I'm dense, but I don't see why there has to be much information sharing here at all. Given that nobody knows
how one gets on the NFL (much less how one gets off the list), I would think it would be relatively simple for the Marshal Service to provide a list of names to add to the NFL, without any linking information back to their original identities. Heck, there's no need to indicate any connection at all to WitSec, since the Marshal service does stuff other than WitSec ...
