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.

IMHO we should have a small group of people who follow the relevant
security mailing lists. In case a security leak occurs they decide how
to fix it, fix it, and release the fixed package. So they do not
depend on the package maintainer.

I suggest to make debian-security@debian.org an alias for this group.

This group also does the communication with the security-announcement
moderators (linux-alert, CERTs).
