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.

Policy questions ...

Just a couple of quickies:

1) I've read the Policy manual in search of answers to this, but
couldn't find them.  What is our current policy regarding
security fixes?  If there is not policy, what's been the
practice?  I've seen two packages we carry have security holes
posted with fixes posted by other distributions, but I haven't
seen any messages about fixes for the debian packages (or a
comment as to whether the debian versions were susceptable).  The
two packages were wu-ftp's signal handling (dunno which
version(s)) and sendmail 8.8.4 (for which a fix has come from
Eric Allman via 8.8.5).  Is there another list for these issues?

2) What is the current bug reporting policy?  I see bug reports
coming in for versions of packages that are sometimes 12
revisions old!  This seems a little cumbersome for a package
maintainer to have to sift through such reports against old
versions.  Perhaps bug reports should only be filed against
packages in stable?  If this is already the case, I apologize.  I
haven't located the docs that describe the current practice.

Thanks
