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.

Re: About release engineering, authority, and stuff

Requests for enhancement are often included as a bug report.  I
suggest giving RFE its own bug priority level (about -1 on the current
scale).  It should also be acceptable to ship packages with
outstanding RFEs, even if they are years old.

Categories 1 and 2 may be distinguishable from the release number
against which the bug is reported.  Perhaps the developer should be
able to report the lowest/highest release number which is known to
have the given bug.  An approach like this suggest that bug reports
should be available until 28 days after the bug is fixed in the
*stable* release, rather than 28 days after the bug is fixed in the
*unstable* release, as is the current practice.
