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.

THOUGHT: New 'user-contributed' section?

The following is not a proposal, however I'd appreciate to know what
people think about this: 

Any RedHat user is able to submit homemade rpm packages into
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/incoming/ and if the redhat guys like the packages,
they are redistributed in the 'contrib' non-official RedHat distribution.
Could Debian use a similar scheme to allow uploads from non-developers? 

Additional thoughts:
* It may encourage upstream authors to provide a dpkg version of their 
	software.
* Why not do it since we claim to be an open distribution?
* I know people who'd like to submit packages, but are afraid to become 
	an 'official Debian developer' (and have to read ~150 emails/day,
	etc...)
* It doesn't need to be part of the 'official Debian' CD/FTP distribution.
* It does not even need to be located on master.d.o or debian.novare.net.

	I'm not requesting to have this created, just wondering if it 
would be a good thing...
	
So, what do you think?
	[ ] Great!
	[ ] Interesting... Needs more discution.
	[ ] Not sure that's any good.
	[ ] It's the most stupid thing I've ever heard(tm)
	[ ] ZZZZzzzz....
