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.

suggestion for a new tool

I think we've all seen that email can be a very clumsy way to gather
opinions, especially conforming ones.  

Here's a suggestion:   a web-ish tool which allows people 
to fetch the text of issues up for consideration, then send a measure 
of a vote of confidence (strongly agree to strongly disagree) with 
optional add-on comments.

The advantage of this approach over email is that processing such
input through some CGI script would allow responses (esp., counts yea
or nay) to be assessed and presented in real time on the WWW.  
This is a lot like email where a rigorous input format triggers some
automatic response (a la the Bug Tracking System or something like the 
BoD vote); perhaps that approach might be better.  I don't care.  
I do believe however that we should be on the lookout for technical 
solutions that might ease some of the difficulties of administering 
a large volunteer project.
