My thoughts are people probably should not be announcing BGP prefixes on the Internet if they have a issue of not giving out their contact info. I believe the initial intent of rwhois with regard to AMPRNet is only for people who are announcing prefixes via BGP. Not the small "sub" assignments within said announced BGP prefixes.
I agree that if people want to drill down deeper into the announcements they should either Email the person responsible for that announcement (contact from rwhois) or if it's a AMPRNet user then they can log into the portal and view it also if AMPRNet will allow that.

We're looking into a whois/rwhois service, but there are issues of privacy and spam to be considered. My first thought is to make a lookup available only to someone logged into the portal site.
