I saw this post on the subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Subterfuge/com ... mode_work/ and I was curious about it as well.

Is there some other method of making people anonymous that the devs didn't mention in the patch notes? Wouldn't a player who creates the game be known to the first player who joins? Especially in a private match.

The players are only referred to by their in-game color
You can see if a player is L1 or L2
You cannot take notes on players

I'll be interested to see whether or not there will be a "reveal" at the end of the game

Do the players get reshuffled at the start of the game?

No
