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.

My proposal is not suitable for implementation as it stands; it's
still in a discussion phase.

The trouble is that thorough treatment of this difficult problem seems
to scare people off.

If noone else comments at all on our requirements, proposed
mechanisms, &c., then I suppose I'll end up doing all the design
myself, but my experience suggests that things designed by a single
person with little critical input often fail to take account of all
the issues, and this applies to my designs just as it applies to
anyone else.

Possible changes to my proposal include having the testers have to
sign a package as well as the maintainer, and some kind of distributed
revocation mechanism.  Perhaps we want to be able to revoke an
individual package, too.

Ian.
