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.

Re: prototype questions for developer vote

Right now I want to be advised if I am out of touch with a _majority_
of the developers, or even a _significant_ minority. All I hear is 15
people on the mailing lists, and I don't know what the others think.
That's a real good reason to take an advisory vote. I think keeping a
finger on that pulse once this situation is over would be useful,
regardless of what decision I actually make. If nothing else, it is
a good gauge of the group coherency.

The problem with the board is that a number of people decided that
I had the board in my pocket and that the board no longer represented
them. Thus, for me to listen to the board without polling the developers
may not be effective. If the board had a poll of developer sentiment on
hand it might help them too.

I think that the vote should be mailed back to the voter to prevent
forgery.

Elaboration is something we can do later on - right now we need something
simple, almost immediately.
