I guess I'll be the devil's advocate. I see no privacy issues in handing
over a list of already public information You could deny it for practical
reasons though, if you simply could not be bothered to scrape/export such a
list yourself. Denying or allowing won't stop anyone from obtaining the
list.

If users were concerned about their usernames being public, they shouldn't
have submitted them publicly. Public information is public, deal with it
and stop being so paranoid, they're gonna get you anyway. ;)
