Most of them are already tracked by amateurs who determine and discuss their orbits on open mailing lists, so this data won't be a huge revelation.
What will be more useful is a source of derived orbital elements for non-classified satellites; NORAD provide sets of data but about ten years ago added a licensing restriction that forbids redistribution of that data or calculations based thereon. A second source without that nonsense would be very useful.

Should geolocate you and show which ones you have a line of site to you at the moment.(Sorry it's not mobile friendly.)https://explorejs.space/demos/cSats/ https://explorejs.space/demos/cSats/
