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.

There are a couple of mutually exclusive answers that are listed.  If
you voted that Project Lead for #2 and BOD for #3, you could get some
stale in-breading. :)

Could it not also work effectively to allow everyone to vote the Leader
and then let the Leader pick who he's got to work with?  With the
willingness for input & the expressed desire for a 'benevolent
dictatorship' it seems reasonable that the team wouldn't allow
decissions out of bounds.

Ditto.  However, I think we could get out of hand on requesting for
votes too.  I prefer voting on the general questions to guide the
project.  Like 'Should the focus be FREE software?,' Who is
Leader/BOD... For the rest, I'd say let the leaders lead.  I'd rather
solve technical issues. :)
