We currently show who deleted a post -- regardless of whether anything was flagged -- to anybody who can see the post. This seems to me like a good thing for transparency. If it was your own post, you don't know whether there were any flags. Ditto if you were not involved (didn't flag, didn't delete) but you can see deleted posts. If it was a post you flagged, you can infer who handled the flag, but do note that sometimes moderators discuss cases before acting, so you only know *one* person who was probably involved. Also, speaking personally, I have sometimes deleted a post first and only afterward noticed that there were flags on it (which I then handle). If we're directly revealing who handled flags, that would be a bug we would want to fix. I'm not sure we should worry about *inferred* handling, especially when this only arises for helpful flags. I think the largest potential for drama around flag-handling comes when flags are *declined*. I'm speaking for myself not the team and I'm open to contrary opinions. If I've missed something about why this is bad, please correct me.
