Interesting announcement from the government to place all RTI replies online from Nov 01 2014. News link

The advantages are there to see
a) Will improve transparency. 

b) Will reduce the work load on RTI, since common questions can be answered once and referred rather than spending time. 

Hopefully it increases efficiency in answering the more important and specific ones.

At this point, it seems the information will be whetted to remove personal  details before publishing. If that happens, then the worry about personal information being made available publicly will be handled.
