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.

Sorry for the delay, I've had mailing-list troubles.

If I added a rejection list, it would have to be in the build stage, ie,
alien would refuse to build a postentially dangerous package (and I would
add a parameter that forces it to build it anyway.)

But who is going to maintain such a list? They would have to have equal
exposure to redhat and debian. I can't do it, I don't even have access to a
true redhat machine.

Perhaps we could just assume that anything in base or maybe with Priority:
essential should automatically be on the rejection list.
