Hi,
I am not subscribed to any Debian lists, I do not do Debian development, and I have zero context on any of this. The fact that you're sending this email to people not on the list in a way that's not obvious seems rather suspect and does not appear to be in good faith.
Please take your drama elsewhere.
Thanks,

You all nominated as candidates in the Debian election
In August 2018 I publicly resigned from mentoring the Google Summer of
Code internships. My resignation email[1] was written diplomatically
and did not contain any hints about the intern relationships and other
problems in Debian.
Over four years since my polite resignation, rogue volunteers associated
with Debian have been making attacks through emails and web sites that
are causing harm to reputations, families, careers of both volunteers
and interns, past and present.
This culture of attacks was cultivated by a series of emails sent from
the leadership role in 2018 when Chris Lamb occupied that position. No
subsequent leader has shown any remorse or contrition for the way Lamb
misused this position.
Other volunteers, for example, Dr Norbert Preining, have resigned[2] in
disgust at the same culture crisis in Debian.
The recent legal verdict against Red Hat, Inc has explicitly stated that
overbearing and controlling tendencies of people in leadership roles
amounts to harassment[3].
As a leader, can you identify anything that is more important than
stopping, retracting and apologizing for these vendettas that were born
out of the leadership post you hope to occupy?
Will you publicly denounce the culture of denouncing people?
Does anybody else support an end to hostilities in Debian?
Regards,
Daniel
