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.

Well, that statement is an example of something which in my opinion should
not be written out as policy but nevertheless people should be encouraged to
keep in mind.

The idea of the mentor is not that he or she implements that. His/her duty
would be to try to communicate the "implicit rules" we are or (the majority
thinks) should be following. This means knowing "who is who", as I said
before, as well as having a general overview of resources available, and 
which one is appropriate for each purpose.

Thanks,
