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.

If you think a bug is fixed you can correspond with the package
maintainer and/or submitter to see if it really is; if it is then go
ahead and close it.

If a package maintainer isn't responding you coould try posting asking
where they are; if there is no reply then we have to assume it's
orphaned.

There's no way to merge bugs at the moment.  However you can close
bugs that are not really bug reports (eg, mistaken followups, etc).
