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.

	Dunno how it is in Russia, but in France the situation changed a bit 
since ~1 yr:

It's now possible to use cryptography with the aim to do 
"authentification". That is I can PGP sign .changes files, but I can not 
use PGP to send a crypted message.
