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.

That'd be the offer wrt mailing lists, thanks.  Any word on the FTP
site organisation/mirror, &c (that's the one that's a week old now) ?

BTW, I see things change on master occasionally, but it's all rather
opaque to me and I keep having to change mkpackages retrospectively
because it's falling over ...

The central server with sub-servers seems to be working very well
indeed as far as my subscriptions to the various rutgers lists is
going.  The messages come in in nice fast batches from nic.funet.fi,
rather than dribbling in with great difficulty overnight when the UK
academic string is a little damper than usual ...

Zmailer seems to have one problem - it strictly interprets that
ghastly bit of the MIME RFCs which says you have to convert to
quoted-printable any message with an 8bit character if the receiving
MTA doesn't announce 8BITMIME via ESMTP.  The result of
quoted-printable encoding a diff is best left unimagined ...
