Hi Felix,

There was recently a discussion about releasing raw queries, and the
decision was made by WMF not to release raw queries for privacy reasons.
Personally, I support that decision because the risks seem to far outweigh
the benefits. The staff from Discovery may be able to provide you with more
detail or alternatives, but I would say that the odds of releasing raw data
from is low.

Sometimes WMF allows access to sensitive data if an NDA is signed. In this
case, I feel that the risks are too high even for that to be allowed.
That's a personal opinion only; the official answer will come from WMF.
