I think you're wrong here.

I think it's more that nobody (really) knows how to "fix" the low female
participation rate.

A "hall of shame" only works for those people who already want to
behave, and trolls will only see it as a trophy.  Don't go that way.

(In real life a hall of shame might work, but on the internet chances
are pretty small that relatives, acquaintances and other people who can
put _real_ pressure on them, will recognise them and see their "shame".)
