If I want to have alts that are outside the guild (like I have currently, though they aren't very active), or an opposite faction alt (which I also have) I don't think that the rest of the guild has to know.
/ginfo only lists people in the guild. If your alt wasn't in the guild, then this hypothetical addon couldn't detect you.

It could alert you when you a new character name is associated with a RealID and even share that data with others that use said add-on.
Addons were able to request the RealID information of the user, but Blizzard hotfixed it. It seems quite underhanded to exploit RealID that way, anyways.
