Did I miss something? Should you give someone feedback on a public post? Writing generically about something you noticed would be fine but to specifically talk about a project, I don't know, I would feel super uncomfortable if it was done to me.

It is a series of public feedback posts; the devs know it will be public. It is supposed to be able to help other people.

  Ok, didn't know that. It's upto him how he wants to do it. But really a generic post without naming anyone would also get the point across, just my opinion.

  Imagine the exposure you get from such a post.. I think a little bruise on your ego would be worth it.

This is a thing that John Carmack, specifically, does routinely. I'd imagine most people who work with him know he does this, and he was probably in communication with the devs.

  At least in the past the devs specifically ask for feedback from Carmack knowing that the review will be public.

Maybe in return for his time, he gets to post it publicly? It could prove useful to others, surely.
