I don't really get why hackers would steal such juicy information allegedly for the public good, then tease the public with it instead of revealing everything immediately.

Because they are holding it for ransom, apparently. They want a million dollars in bitcoins. http://venturebeat.com/2012/09/05/romney-tax-returns-hacked/

The ransom may be from someone else, more info in a reddit comment. Most interestingly an alleged page 1 of his 2003 tax return was leaked. e: Apparently the Williamson GOP is confirming that they have, "received a letter and a flash drive Friday allegedly containing the stolen tax records of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney."
