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.

IMO debian should change the current stable/unstable/frozen method to a
released/tested/untested/frozen method. all packages are still put into
unstable. if several developer have agreed, that a package is working
ok, it will be moved into tested. the tested will then frozen and
released as normal. 

i don't like the current method : freezing the current "unstable" and
then puting some packages back to the new unstable (because they are not
ready for a release) or hurrying to get them ready (and maybe ending
with some bugs).

nearly everyone has some kritik at the current mechanism. but lets wait
until the BoD and new projekt leader are starting their work. 

changing the current release mechanism and integrating a quality
assurance is a big thing, and a small group may get better results than
if all 120 developers are involved.
