Maybe, but if I have to guess differently than you think: They probably want to use this to "troll" governments and heavy users of DMCA take-down notices. These people usually don't like it if users notice that they were responsible, so this is against their interests.

I think it's a fabulous idea. Request and item that been the subject of a takedown notice, receive the details of who produced the takedown.

Google sort of does that, although you have to go to Chilling Effects and look up the takedown.
