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.

Yes, it already does.

No.

It is much more work, but with marginal improvements, and thus not
particularly elegant.

And every country seems to have different regulations on cryptography
systems.  See http://cwis.kub.nl/~frw/people/koops/lawsurvy.htm
