As far as I can tell, it's only people who have commented on a Gawker site. It's a pretty long list of sites, so there's even a chance that you've done it a long time ago on one and forgotten. It doesn't include Google, though. Some Google apps info for /Gawker employees/ was compromised.
This thought had crossed my mind too, but a little differently. Occasionally I wondered why it was called WikiLeaks--I didn't realize the site had originally been wiki-based, although I assumed there had to have been a wiki involved somewhere along the way.
I would imagine that for those who are going to assume a connection, the damage is probably done. I'm envisioning a scenario in an office where someone says, "We could use a wiki for this!" and the ignorant manager growls, "You mean like from those WikiLeaks people? We can't use their software!" Ideally Ignorant Manager then listens when Savvy Employee explains that they have nothing to do with each other. But I also know that's unfortunately not really how it always works out.
