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.

Unfortunately, releasing code snapshots and soliciting patches is of
questionable use before a certain point.  Because there is nothing to
run yet, nobody is going to find anything unless they go looking through
the source.

Even then, with code changing as rapidly as it is, any patch has a good
chance of not being able to be applied cleanly.  Furthermore, without
a running system, the person suggesting the patch has no real way of
telling if the patch is beneficial or not.
