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's a known bug. Ian once said he doesn't have time to fix
it (and also that we might want a new PGP maintainer), if I
remember correctly.

A couple of notes:

* a 768 bit key is considered short; 1024 bits is normal and longer
  keys are becoming common; this is not a problem, though

* always sign your own public key to prevent tampering of the username;
  this doesn't provide proof that the username is correct, but it does
  prove that it was given by the person who has the private key
  
It is probably a good idea to send the key to Ian and to the key
servers (http://www.pgp.net/pgp/). That makes it easy to find,
when needed. Getting signatures would be a good idea, as well,
but is sometimes difficult to arrange. Key signing parties are
often arranged at conferences and such, I'm told.
