I like the idea of secret submissions - it's part of the fun and challenging to the writer. I like the way requests are matched to the writer and feel that draw straws or claiming requests would not work as well. There will always be a request that wouldnt be claimed or a writer who felt that they could not participate because they couldn't find the request they want to do.
For those who let everyone down at the last minute or do not respond to repeated requests to get their work in: 1. Naming and shaming is a good idea, 2. ban them from future exchanges so they can't do it again. I realise that there will always be exceptions and so it is at the discretion of the poeple who are running the exchange.
Listing participants who accept requests and post submissions back in table form could work. It might act as a spur.
I agree with all of what keiliss has written but thought i would add a bit of my own. Thankyou for running the exchange - as a first time participant I enjoyed it and found it easy to do and my request was very well matched to what i could write. It must have been hard work for all of you though.
