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.

Of course I have, silly.

Yes, when the number is somewhat larger than one. A team size of three
active coders would have a good chance. One active coder is not even a
team. I have a list of two pages of action items from your own coder
that nobody is working on.

If all 7 members of the team were active, and were pitching in where
necessary, I'd probably not think of adding more. Currently, we can not
consider some of them to be team members at all.

Public read, and one person delegated to respond to messages from the public.

I am not requesting it. Consider it an order. Peter can handle this little
technical issue without any problem. And do not continue with the fiction
that Deity is not part of the Debian project, unless you are willing to
take all of your volunteers off with you, and have no customer for your
program.
