I think in general that grantmakers probably should have a rule against publicly listing people they rejected, because it can feel very judgmental/shaming for the applicants, and discourage future good applicants who would be sensitive to that kind of thing who would be worried about it happening to them.
That said I think it’s definitely positive for applicants who are happy to have it be public that they applied and were rejected to to ask for feedback publicly.
(I see now that my comment was premised on a belief that EA Hotel would be happy for this to be public, as they have been quite open about such things to date.)

Agreed, thanks for this.
