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.

What are work details?  Do you need to know where I work?  This is
unlikely to be up to date for me.  I suppose that accuracy is less
important than matching a database.  Just because a person
is identified as genuine doesn't mean that the person filling out the
form is that genuine person.  How do you prevent false identification?

People are more likely to be in a database as their age increases.  Is
this desirable for Debian.  Is it acceptable for any of our current
developers to fail to be in the database?
