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.

Well, a good place to start is on
/home/Debian/ftp/{bin,debian,etc,lib,lost+found,pub} - group writeable by
Debian, which I don't think is really necessary. There could be a separate
group for access to the Debian FTP archives (I don't think that making it
owned by "maor" is necessarily a good idea, as I suspect that more than one
person may need access). I _definitely_ don't believe that write access to
the archive for every member of the project is a good idea.

I can't think of a simple solution to the Incoming problem offhand, though.
:-(

Nothing personal to the group members - I'm just a firm believer in the
"need to access" principle (sort of like the "need to know" principle :)
