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.

Should we perhaps create a devel-pkgtools list to specifically discuss  
dpkg, dselect, debmake, and similar stuff?

There seems consensus that it *is* a fairly important part of the project,  
and there seem to be a lot of people (including Ian, if anybody didn't  
notice) who think that any design decisions on this stuff should be  
discussed before being implemented.
