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 didn't plan to post the addresses on the web, only to make a 
lat,lon map with them.  I agree with you that spamming is a problem
to be guarded against, which is why I asked permission to ask for the
list even for this purpose.

Right.  There have been several suggestions to get around this.
Dirk Eddelbeuttel suggested that developers be asked for 3 email
addresses:  one for the hostname that's likely to be a good way
to locate them physically, one for the place where they like to
get their email, and one for their official Debian address.
Developers may of course choose to provide 0, 1, 2, or all 3 forms
of address.

Even with the mailing list, my immediate plan is/was to write to 
each individual developer and get his consent to be on this map, 
and in the xearth database file, and to get his confirmation that 
the data I have is right.  This should settle legal issues.

In the meantime, I think Jim Pick's ideas (direct developer input)
are much better.  So I've revised my plan to the following:
I will stop where I am right now (with about 50 developers in 
the database), check for approval with each person in the database,
and then simply make the results available as a static mercator 
projection with no sun shading.  (Too bad--I must admit you get 
a very different impression of your colleagues when you look 
at your background screen and realize that they ought to be 
asleep right now.)  This will be enough to show the usefulness
of the map.  Then, assuming Jim (or someone else) has time to make a 
CGI script for direct developer input, the full results can be 
made available in a more complete and robust way.

Please let me know if you have any remaining concerns.
Thanks,
Susan
