There may be some disagreement of terms here. To me, a mailbomber is someone who intentionally sends a lot of email to one or more carefully chosen victims. The victim can detect this by noting that his mailbox is full of trash from a single source.
This is different from a spammer, which is someone who sends an email message to every address that he can. A spammer actually would be delighted if every recipient loved the email. (Not at all likely though.) A mailbomber actually wants to be regarded as a problem and would be aghast if the mailbomb was somehow helpful.
Posting the ip address would probably be to invite retaliation. This might make more sense in the case of a spammer since the spammer has more victims. Also some people can block mail from a particular ip address, so it could be for defense.
You didn't ask for any advice here, but I feel that I must. Do not participate in or encourage any retaliation. You probably cannot be sure that the IP address is correct, and even if it is, nothing good will come from retaliation.
