   ...as an alternate suggestion:

 "A tells B - B quotes A but does not give identity of A"

This way A's identity remains unknown to all but B. I can decide what

and partly on B's (apparent) motives for "doing this" for A. AND (big
and), I remain knowing that our list/database does not include anonymous
