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.

No, apart from the files required to make up the source packages and some 
binaries to build the packages from source (on a package by package basis) 
there is very little support structure for the source tree and those who would 
like to work from it.  As I've said on the "Core release" thread I currently 
wonder why we even bother with the source tree at all (wellllll I can see a 
couple of reasons, but we could make so much more of it).
