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 agree this is a very needful thing. I'd like to be part of it.

If we waited on the maintainer, how long would we wait? A week? I'm sure
that some maintainers can only work weekends on debian, so less than a
week could be pushing the maintainer too hard.

But if we want to get security problems fixed as soon as Red Hat does,
a week long delay is not acceptable.

I favor your first proposal.
