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.

When did Debian become a democracy ?

I was under the impression that we agreed that we would delegate our authority to a project leader, so we could all get on with something more important.

AFAIK None of the leadership have been elected before (including Ian ;-) and I don't see a reason for changing a system that works.

Why is there this implicit assumption that democracy is a good way to run things ?

What would happen if a majority of voters voted for something that the few people that actually do the bulk of the work in debian  didn't like ?

I think the vote would either be ignored, or would destroy the project when the movers&shakers left in protest.

I'd rather not be on a bus with a steering wheel for every passenger.

Cheers, Phil.
