And even if such laws do not exist (and I'm no expert), as an employee I
would be gravely concerned about taking a role with any employer where I
knew that they would be publishing the reason for my departure.

Now, employees may /choose/ to publish a reason (as I did) but to presume
that it would be mandatory (and to be willing to stake your career on it in
advance) would likely seriously inhibit some candidates from applying.
When you pair that with the WMF's (relatively) transparent organization, I
think the two together would be a significant inhibitor to recruiting.
