The member's real_name attribute can be exposed in various ways.

1) The results of the email who command
2) The web roster beginning in 2.1.19 if the site allows it
3) The display name in a Munge From or Wrap Message From: if the
original post has no display name.

If the list's Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> private_roster
is set to List Admin Only, then only someone authenticated as admin can
see 1) or 2).

If the list's from_is_list setting is No (this setting is deprecated and
should normally be No, use Privacy options... -> Sender filters ->
dmarc_moderation_action instead) and the user's address in not in a
domain with a domain with a DMARC reject or quarantine policy, then 3)
is probably OK, but it's only certain if neither from_is_list nor
dmarc_moderation_action is Munge From or Wrap Message.
