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.

It is probably unreasonable to castigate somebody for life because they
have done some things wrong.  But I think we don't have the mechanisms
in place yet to ensure a reasonably even level of security among packages
produced by a wide range of people.  I think the immediate action should
be to reject the developer for the time being, but to use this as a
heads-up that the project needs to come up with some policies, management
principles, and possibly even some software to deal with people
who may have goals that diverge rather seriously from those of the project.
