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.

Uh-oh. Read http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html right away. I
did not think that anyone would join the project without learning that
much of what we are about. It's the second link on our web page, right
below "About Debian".

Yes, but by doing that you might imply that we have never thought about
these issues :-) We have discussed them _thoughly_, and we came to a
consensus and set the basic goals of the project.

I'm going to ask the new-maintainer folks to verify that all applicants
have read that document. It's the least we can do.

	Thanks
