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.

Now Christopher, be nice ;-)

This IS the major issue over which we have polarized, as a group. Those on
either side of the issue seem to view the two issues as mutually
exclusive. I believe that we can meet both goals of being on time, and
being as bug free as possible. What we need that we have never had, is a
plan, a road map to the release that we can all follow, each taking our
own seperate paths, arriving at the goal in a timely fashion. For 1.1 the
goals were so obvious it was not a problem that there was no map. For this
more current release, the targets were more difuse. Assigning a "release
manager" after the proposed release date has been missed, forcing him to
propose a schedule only days before the proposed "freeze" was, somewhat,
more than a day late and a dollar short. (Please note that this is 100%
20/20 hindsight)
Our latest experience convinces me more than ever that we need to be
deciding now (or at least very soon after the current release date) to
build the schedule for the next release.

Thanks for your time,

Dwarf
