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.

Even worse, Alan doesn't like Debian.  He told me that the reason is
that changes made in Debian don't get the way back to the upstream
author.

I know this isn't true for many important packages (at least those
maintained by Peter and most of mine).  Anyway this is his reason
and I couldn't object enough, he might not be that wrong. (?)
