I don't know signal very well but when I have spoken to others about it they mention that the phone number is the only metadata they will have access to.

This seems like a good example of that being enough metadata to be a big problem.

Presumably this is data taken from interdicted phones of people in the groups, not, like, a traffic-analytic attack on Signal itself.
