Yeah, I can relate, these sorts of situations can be tough.
I work on the biosecurity & pandemic preparedness team at Open Philanthropy. In the realm of biosecurity at least, I’m happy to be a resource for helping troubleshoot these sorts of issues, including both general questions and more specific concerns. The best way to contact me, anonymously or non-anonymously, is through this short form.
Importantly, if you’re reaching out, please do not include potentially sensitive details of info hazards in form submissions – if necessary, we can arrange more secure means of follow-up communication, anonymous or otherwise (e.g., a phone call).
Seconding this: talking through the idea with someone experienced in the field who is sensitive about infohazards is a good approach. Much better than writing up your concern, and especially writing it up publicly.
(The main downside is that this doesn’t scale very well, but at this stage in the field I think that’s not a problem we have yet?)

Thank you, @cwbakerlee and @Jeff Kaufman . I appreciate this.
