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.

Still, noone saw reason to remove unacceptable logos in close to a year?

That sounds rather strange, doesn't it?

And a mistake is enough justification to ignore a vote, that went for over
a year?

Nice idea, which Pete are you talking about? I am not in the habit of
bugging people for more info, if there is info available on the web. And
the web had info about Debian mailing-lists. So what should even have
given me the idea of asking for the existence a publicity mailing list?
Don't get me wrong, I do not want to say your approaching Pete was wrong,
I just want to point out, that this approach is not neccessarily the
normal approach that anyone would take.
For me, it would've been asking Bruce, as I don't know any other package
maintainers personally, and I don't think that Bruce in his role of
Project Leader wouldn't have liked questions like "Are there any further
mailing lists I should know of?".
I don't think that he or anyone else in the same position would've liked
it if every now and then a maintainer comes up with such a question.
  Especially bearing in mind the workload, that Bruce already had as
project leader, that is now going to be Ian's workload.
  Even though I heavily criticised Bruce, and as much as I might
criticise Ian, I really DO respect all the work, that Bruce did, and that
Ian is going to do. But - having a project leader, shouldn't mean,
electing somebody to move him out of criticism for his decisions.
