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 think that this is a wonderful idea. I am very glad to see some energy
directing itself to this issue. Although it would probably by proper to
contact the package maintainer where possible and check on their progress
before effort is duplicated, I am certain that there are many maintainers
who will welcome the help.
You might also contact Vincent Renard who is maintaining the list of
packages needing conversion to the new source format. You will find that
doing this will resolve, at least some, of the bugs you will be looking
at.

Thanks again for your wonderful contribution,

Dwarf
