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 am more than a little disappointed that you are taking this position. I,
for one, have been VERY satisfied with your responsible leadership and
strongly feel that the project will be severely damaged by your leaving
this post.
I am not strongly opposed to the "board of directors" idea, however, it
strikes me as another layer of decision avoidance that we don't need. It
seems to me that the only way we have ever gotten a release out has been
by the decisions directed by one central leader. Many of the poor
decisions made by corporations are not so much the result of corporate
greed as they are the result of organizational stupidity. We don't need to
add more committees to the organization.
Although I would hope that you might reconsider this idea, if you intend
to go ahead then please consider me as a possible candidate for the board.
BTW, how many board members are you considering?

Your Humble Servant,

Dwarf
