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 think we should have a formalized method for removing packages, something
along the lines of, someone thinks a package doesn't belong in the dist.  He
announce his feeling on debian-private or devel.  We then discuss it, and
vote on it, and let the majority rule.  I believe our collective concience
should be good enough.  If the majority of the people feel that the
bible-kjv doesn't belong, we should remove it.  However, personally, as a
non-christian, it doesn't offend me, even though I believe it's a horrible
transalation and has been misinterpreted many times.  (I'd reccomend
Artscroll's transalation).
