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.

I'm doing my best (as I always have done) to completely ignore any
form of management.  I will try my best to do what I see fit
regardless of the stated positions of alleged "managers".  The only
thing worth managing is one's own time.

Dominik, I've found your criticism useful if perhaps a bit too
extreme.  Thank you for your contributions.

Although I find the whole "management" thing unbearable.  I choose to
ignore them.  I would be disappointed to lose your constructive
criticism at this point in the project's evolution.  We definitely need
people to criticise the "managers".  Although I wouldn't follow through
on this impeachment thing, I think many aspects (but not all, of
course) of your sentiments are not unpopular.

Please reconsider.  I'm sorry that your values are causing some grief.
Many of the issues you have raised are important.  I'd especially like
to see a solution to the static vs. dynamic ext2fs libs problem that
satisfies everyone.  This technical problem doesn't have to be "closed"
by a closed bug report.  In fact, the correct solution may occur
outside the e2fsprogs package.  So I think closing the bug report
doesn't mean that the issues you raised are stamped out.  The
discussion of this issue can continue in debian-devel.
