Only the recipient number has been in the messages, so unless Signal servers have been compromised, and they've figured out how to associate sender IP addresses with phone numbers, and they've never been caught by the multiple government demands from them... I think it's fair to say

  1. they probably don't keep these logs, and
  2. they made it about as hard as possible to do
