The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Well, it's not a "mirror" in the FTP sense of the word.  All of the files
get transferred via email and are run through a processing script.  Email
is about the only reliable way to get through what Ian Jackson referrs to as
the "wet piece of string" connecting the US and UK.

This email would have to get processed somewhere.

Well, I might be able to cut down the memory usage of the mirroring script, 
I just don't think it was ever really an issue.

Thing is, the processing script will have to get run *somewhere* that is in 
the US, and can then get things to www.debian.org (where ever that will be).
