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.

What's the current policy for uploading packages?

I have been off the Net for some time and I found that a few things have 
changed in the way to upload Debian packages. My specific questions are:

1) Is it mandatory to PGP-sign the announcements or the dchanges file?

I have legal reasons for not using PGP, and I might not be the only one.
There are two types of people who cannot legally use PGP: people residing 
in countries where the use of encription is not legal, and foreign people
residing temporarily (as opposed to permanently) in the US.
For these people, neither the US nor the non-US versions are valid.

2) Where should the announcements go?

It seems that we are now in the open beta test period. So are we working 
behind the scenes on the next version while we encourage people to try 
the current non-released one? Or should we announce everything to the 
debian-user list?

3) Where is a document explaining the _current_  policy?

And this includes things like the format of version numbers, a 
description of mandatory and all optional fields in the control file, 
like the new Architecture: and the new rules to uploading to 
new-master.debian.org using your own account.
I would like to have an _updated_ version of this put all together in the 
same document. Is there something like this? If not, I can write one if 
you help me sort it out.

Thank you,
	Fernando Alegre.
