I think your position as an assigner probably gives you the responsibility to provide that sort of feedback. Other officials may be comfortable doing so for friends and close colleagues, even if they're not in positions of authority. I'd be very hesitant to even comment that the officials were right for the very reason you mention, and it's the reason I asked the question.
If you're going to say when you think the officials were right, you have to be willing to say you think the officials missed it.
