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.

	Could we have a discussion of this on debian devel *before*
 this is made a requirement? Why is suidregister a good idea? Are
 there alternative methods? Are there opposing viewpoints?

	Pardon me if I have just missed all the discussion and the
 decision to go with suid register (but if there was such a decision,
 it should be reflected in the policy guide).

	I have a feeling that way too many policy decisions are being
 made either offline or unilaterally by maintainers of utility
 packages, and while I'm on the soapbox, I think that people are
 largely ignoring the policy of asking on debian-devel *first* before
 uploading totally new packages.
