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.

If we do that we should also officially orphan the packages that have
not been converted in, say, two weeks.

However, policy for contrib has changed, has it not?  It is no longer
the dumping ground for unmaintained packages.  That would be
project/orphaned, which is much closer to dropping the packages entirely.

I think we should make some effort to find maintainers for them first,
perhaps by recruiting new ones.  ("Debian will drop these packages unless
you volunteer to maintain them"...)
