When an owner of a meetup decides to stop doing so – the ownership is offered to other members of the meetup group. This allows the group to continue even if the owner disengages. But yes, it does also allow the new owner to gain access to a complete list of members in the meetup group (since they are now the admin of the group)

It's a bit messed up, but it's been that way for a long time.

Don't members of the meetup group already have access to the members list for that group?

Thought that was a core concept?
