Notice that if Stefan had told me that, instead of hiding it, i would
have asked Bastian, and it would have gone no further.
Notice also, that it was not even me who asked on #alioth, and that
things could have gotten much cleaner with transparency and
communication.
Finally, i just notice that the alioth admin team apparently saw no
problem in filing the full log of the time i removed jonas from svn
shortly before cebit 2006, which didn't lead to any consequence, and as
thus directly contributed to witch hunt against me, so, two weights, two
mesures ?
And notice the difference, here responding transparently would have
diffused a potential problem, while back then, the info was provided
explicitly to contribute to the agression against me.

How fun how things get out of hand, Stef mentioned that nothing could
force him to reveal that information, and i made mention of a french law
about computer database, and how it allowed anyone to ask for the data
concerning him in any database, and that this could be used to obtain
such information.
Notice how you transform this into me threatening to attach you in a
court, which is typical of how all this has gone. The most minor thing i
say is taken out of proportion, and i get strongly bashed for it, and it
becomes the summit of evilness, while all that is done to me is ignored
or minimized.
But then, i know since we spoke at the end of Solution Linux, that
concience and honestity are not sentiments which you care all that much
about.
This does change nothing. I ask that my svn and kernel commit access be
restored, that the DAM's decision to suspend me be lifted, and that the
Debian project tries to find a honest and fair solution to this mess
which has caused innumerable flamewars and angryness and loss of time
since over a year now.
Saddened,
Sven Luther
