We are not opposed to adding this feature.
Whether or not it’s required by any specific law, we recognize that it would reduce friction for some organizations to adopt Discourse or to delegate moderator responsibilities more widely, due to their own internal policies or interpretation of risks associated with moderators seeing users’ IP addresses.
That said, it is not a current priority.
I’ll put pr-welcome on this feature, but if anyone is considering picking it up, check in here first to discuss how to approach it.
