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.

	The "Users contrib section manager". _(:
(seriously, it will be done by someone who volunteers to do so, I guess)

	Anyone, since uploads are opened to anyone?
Alternatively, it might not be fixed if noone cares enough to do so.

There are still more problems raised:
* what happen if there are 2 different packages in "regular" and "user 
contributed" debian have the same name?
* etc...
