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.

You can expect time commitments from volunteers, and the main function of
their manager is to find more volunteers when they can't make their time
commitments. And about us putting their lives on the line for Debian, some
of us do give up a lot of our lives for it. We can't expect that, we can
only appreciate it when it happens.

But nobody but the in-group can read it. Not good.

So please put a directory on an FTP site that is checked out daily by a cron
script. We don't really need to get the code out of CVS just to look at it.

You could accept patches.

My impression is that if you had been working hard at managing we would not
have come to this point.
