I read a few of the comments on the blog you linked to, and he replies
to one comment:
"No there is no public record (for now), as all happened on
debian-private. In due time I will document the whole process, since I
have access to all of debian-private until recently. Time to show what
really went on."
Maybe you just have to wait a while. This will of course only be one
side of the story.
