Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

So the API does disclose who upvotes and downvotes, however since the major front ends themselves don't show to everyday users, it's walled off to finding a frontend that is able to view them and to mod/admins of the instance.

Currently it takes someone to be somewhat savvy to be able to do that, this proposal is making everything public period, which would remove that wall

Yes. And I think better make it obvious that votes aren't private, instead of people wrongly assuming that they are.
