Scott did not doxx the journalist. He encouraged people to send polite and appropriate feedback to NYT editors-- so it makes sense that this is getting their attention.

His fans absolutely did, this is a thing that happened.
(I also submit that this was absolutely predictable, unless you assume there are zero overenthusiastic fans of a popular site. Putting a call to action was going to lead to this result, even with a "please be polite" disclaimer.)
There's been one person doxed in the course of all this, and it's the journalist, not Scott.
