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 personally thought the $2 was fine, but I'm just 1 insignificant voice....

Well, IMHO, you are just being too nice about the whole thing. We have all
accepted you as the project lead, and, since there is no BoD at this time,
you are the only decision maker. I've been in this position 2 times myself,
with peers, but they elected me as lead. You just have to take a
hard-ass stance, and, if enough people disagree, something else will be
done, even if it means replacing you (which I personally hope doesn't happen).

But, then again, since I currently maintain 0 packages, I guess I shuoldn't
be talking...
