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.

What's going on in there ?

What's going on with Debian ?
There are plenty of essential things to do and none progresses...

1) Bo was supposed to be frozen Feb 1st, tested during February, and 
released March 1st. Bo isn't frozen yet, and we're heading towards 
another rex fiasco.

2) The BOD was supposed to write a Debian constitution, and we've 
heard nothing from them (except people being nominated to various 
positions, with (IMHO) excessively pretentious titles (the _titles_, 
not the persons)).

3) There's a trend to always add packages and packages while there 
are several packages that aren't actively maintained. We still have 
old a.out packages while everyone discusses and argues about the 
virtues of a new source format. Let's start by having _all_ packages 
actively maintained and compliant with the current standard.
There's also the 'serial packager' kind of maintainer. Some of us 
package plenty of software and then give them away...
Maybe it would be good to get a list of all the orphaned packages and 
tell new potential maintainers to get one of them (maybe old 
maintainers too). This would have the side effect to show newbies how 
to make a package before doing one.

4) While our bug count heads towards the bug #10000 quite quickly, 
there are plenty of bugs still unresolved. We should 
solve/forward/close them.

5) Debian has been less and less fun lately.
