I don’t really understand why this is at all important. Do you expect (or endorse) users to… vote on posts solely by reading a list of titles without clicking on them to refresh their memories of what the posts are about, and as a natural corollary of this, see who the authors of the posts are? What’s the purpose of introducing inconveniences and hiding information when this information will very likely be found anyway?
I get the importance of marginalist thinking, and of pondering what incentives you are creating for the median and/or marginal voting participant, blah blah blah, but if there is ever a spot on the Internet where superficiality is at its lowest and the focus is on the essence above the form, the LW review process might well be it.
In light of that, this question just doesn’t seem (to a rather outside observer like me) worth pondering all that much.

…the status quo is that we’re hiding information on one page. I’m proposing no longer do that, which sounds like what you want?
Ah, gotcha. Yes, that seems reasonable.
