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.

Re: Policy change for "main", "contrib", and "non-free"

In the QA policy draft it was :
- Important packages (ie: at least one other package in "main" Requires:
on Recommends: it) stay in "main" even if they are orphaned. The QA group
is then responsible for updates and bugfixes.
- Other packages go into project/orphaned if no-one want them 3 months
after their 'orphaning'.

Does it look reasonable?

The aim is that if we want to avoid Debian to become a bunch of randomly
agregated software, we must drop some packages which are not necessary
anymore (Either because they have been superceded by a better package,
or simply not necessary).
