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.

Binary.  Yes.  No.

It's not perfectly fair, but it's not unreasonably so.  Those 20 tiny
package count for only 20 of over 800 "votes".  Since there are over
150 developers, each person is pretty close to the same "importance"
in the grand scheme of things.

The same follows for exploitation.  Unless you manage to maintain over
400 packages, it's not really a big deal.
