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.

MHO:
I think that we should permit reports against packages both in stable
_and_ in unstable, without pushing users to move from stable to
unstable.
If a real bug in stable is reported, we should fix it also in the stable
tree, maybe branching the release number of the package (thing this,
that the policy reserves for uploads by not-maintainers), in case there
were no holes available in the numbering progression. 
This, combined with the growing request for only 2 releases per year
(which I oppose) means that each developer should have both stable _and_
unstable running on different machines/partitions.
