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.

I certainly don't.  I've found you helpful and responsive, and I'm
very pleased that you're with us.

It's inevitable in a project like this that people will have
disagreements on technical matters.  If someone feels that you as
package maintainer are making some kind of egregious mistake and they
can't convince you of it by reasonable private or public discussion
they should bring it to the attention of the project leaders and/or
other relevant people - without any kind of personal attack.

I don't think they should be sending you nasty emails.  If you'd care
to send me the email in question I'll be glad to try to help resolve
whatever the question is (and to _politely_ ask whoever it is not to
send such things again).  I know from my own experience that it's easy
to send messages which, when considered later, I'd rather I hadn't.

Please do not step aside.  You've been doing a good job.

Indeed.  Imagine how I must feel about dselect ...
