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.

Better now than later.  Funny that the person who screamed about list
backup decides to flame about ftp backup.  Gee, which is more important?
Mailing lists, or the actual files for the whole damn project?

What help is necessary, or perhaps we should set up a multi-national team
of backup ftp server administrators?

Take your site politics and shove it.  It's a backup site.  It's got a
disk.  OK?

If you don't like it, just keep using master, and don't use the backup if
master should become unreachable.  Easy enough?
