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.

I manage the project, but I don't work on it.  Yes, I should have seen that
not everybody was working as they should have been.  I didn't.  I never had
any problem with somebody pointing out the problem.  I was grateful.  What
I have a problem with is that you decided to take matters into your own hand.

It will be out on time.  It will be out when it's ready.

And it's not fiction.  Deity is and never was part of the Debian project.
I'm sorry if you'd like to believe otherwise.  We are working to improve
the project by providing a greatly improved "face", but Debian has done
nothing for us but provide a list server.  We serve the project because
we want it to succeed, but we'll do it in our own way.  It's the only
way to avoid "rule by committee".
