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.

How about volunteer backup "teams" that will coordinate with
eachother in these events to provide timely support?  Once the
@package.debian.org virtual domain is up, it could be easy to
"subscribe" to a packages backup list.  The
pkg@package.debian.org address could also be used in such a case
to post package specific announcements to the "team" (such as
security issues or glaring bugs).  Is this overkill?
