This would be a pretty easy feature to add in and could lead to less use of the question box.
I don't know about all other regionals, but for ours we always announce who got what penalties after each match so that hopefully they will realize the mistake and adapt their gameplay.
Also, as I mentioned before, sometimes the problem with real time penalizing is viewpoints. It is a penalty from one viewpoint, but isn't from another, so the refs must discuss sometimes before finalizing. That's a lot to ask of some people in a very small time frame
