I'd happily claim them myself if I could convince people to give them to me, but that seems unlikely so I'm not going to bother trying. In any case, I question the utility of the potions for the reason you point out... we know who's going to get them and the scum will know what attacks not to use on those people. For this reason they're not going to be game-changers so I don't think it's much of a big deal who gets them.
Besides, if you really don't want them you can simply give them away at night to the person of your choice instead of using them. That might actually make them more useful since then there would be no public knowledge about who got the defensive bonuses.
