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.

IIRC, there are already some such attempts
- I saw proposals on linux-security
- OpenBSD (www.openbsd.org) is rather active in pro-active security
  inspections of code.

Probably it is best to attempt this kind of project in cooperation with as
many freeware projects as possible; contacting linux-security and the
various BSDs might prove helpful.
