Indeed. In the US, one can demand to read the archived emails of public officials (not just mailing lists)

Why does Debian need "private" mailing lists? What is it hiding from the public?

Maybe taking it a bit too far but go ahead and file a lawsuit.  In the 
pursuit truth and justice.

None here are public officials, this is a private corporation even if
it's of public utility.

And even public officials, you can get their mail but there will still
be private information kept private.

If all would be public you'd be the first complaining and saying that
it's so rude to talk about specific case, before a decision is made and
share the information publicly.

If there's a private sharing of information then haven't it ever passed
thru your mind that it can be related to the need to keep confidential
information ? For example, private and personal information regarding
someone.

The same as a jury decision is public, the deliberate are not.

Oh, by the way, nice to meet you ! Seems odd that you are new to this
mailing list and have some much interest in this debate. And so close on
the timeline since someone else had left...

And your main interest regarding Debian, as someone who's new here is....
The arguments relating the faith of a decision concerning a long term
developer.

You don't have other interest ? This seem to be the only thing you
talked about and never asked a question on another subject.

Maybe you shall learn about a community *BEFORE* making opinion.
A bit like learning to program a language *BEFORE* trying to compile code.

Nor was I suggesting otherwise. 

I'm just saying that it's odd for a moralistic organization like Debian to be less transparent than the US government.

> Seems odd that you are new to this mailing list and have some much interest in this debate. 

Why is it odd? I have a moderate amount of interest. I sent one email.

> And so close on the timeline since someone else had left...

Who's "someone"? Are you saying I signed up when someone else stopped posting? Is it suspicious? Have you noticed anyone else signing up around the same time? Better be careful. They are out there. They come at night!

Does a foreign citizen enjoy the same right?

The various delegated teams (including DAM) ultimately answer only to 
Debian Project Members, all of which do have access to debian-private.

(see the Debian Project's Constitution for details)

As users we "only" get to enjoy the results of their labour, for free.

There's this thing called "privacy", especially of the person directly 
affected.

In some countries there are even laws regulating that (e.g. the EU GDPR) 
and publicly sharing sensitive information about other persons is 
illegal.

Kind regards,
Andrei

That remains solely at my discretion. I will happily publish what is
necessary to clarify positions and actions.

For comparison, RMS is publicly against singular "they", and Debian developers voted not to censure him. https://stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html Seems like a double standard, but whatever.

BTW, Norbert, I have used TeX on Debian many times. So let me take this opportunity to say thanks.

If you engage in such discussion, you are ready to fail. There is no force
in this universe to tell me not to use the pronouns he and she based on
biological sex.
The opposite is complete madness: I recommend listening to Jordan Peterson
on this subject.
I doubt RMS is authority in this field. He has opinion and this is it - he
and not only he - no one has the authority to tell you or me how to speak.
Language is to help us understand each other. Obviously someone does not
want to admit to this basic rule and wants us to roll over into the
Overtone window. It is absolutely unnecessary discussion. J. Peterson
refuses to accept, I refuse and many others. It is perfectly OK. I have the
same rights as you do. Period.

Can I please remind readers and posters:

Communication on this list, on IRC and on other Debian media are bound 
by the Debian mailing list code of conduct, the Debian IRC code of conduct 
and, above all, by the Debian Code of Conduct.

https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct
https://www.debian.org/support#irc
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianIRCChannelGuidelines
https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct

Action can and will be taken by listmasters if appropriate. 
Please also report issues with conduct to the Community Team

With thanks for your attention,

Andrew Cater

Andrew,

I am very concerned by your message and the signal it seems to be
communicating.  The links you provided do not seem to describe any sort
of boundary or misbehavior which appears to be at issue in deloptes's
message.  The most egregious thing seems to be the continuation of an
off-topic thread.  There many contributors to that particular problem in
this case in addition to delpotes.

Could you perhaps describe precisely what offense was caused or what
boundary was skirted in this instance?

In the future, messages such as yours would appear less menacing and
more constructive with this additional bit of information added.

Regards,

-Roberto

Copy of CoC :
1 - The mailing lists exist to foster the development and use of Debian.
Non-constructive or off-topic messages, along with other abuses, are not
welcome.

2 - Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists via
packet radio, where swearing is illegal.

3 - Try not to flame; it is not polite.

This whole thread has turned into a violation of the very first rule.  
If you read Andrew's post, the first line says to "readers and 
posters".  This is for everyone.

By that, I presume you are referring to "The mailing lists exist to
foster the development and use of Debian. Non-constructive or off-topic
messages, along with other abuses, are not welcome" from the mailing
list code of conduct.  I agree that this thread has become rather
off-topic for this list.

> If you read Andrew's post, the first line says to "readers and posters".  

It does say that.  However, his choice of quoting sends a different
message.  Hence my request for additional information about the specific
offense that prompted the warning.

> This is for everyone.
>
There are ways to send messages intended "for everyone" and Andrew's
message seems (unintentionally, I assume) to single out particular
invidual in a somewhat threatning way.

Hi Norbert,

Luckily I used the word "should", because, clearly, we all know that
respecting the privacy of private lists is a moral contract.

So, while this would be bad-mannered, of course, you can publish
private mails, I doubt anyone would go in court for that.

But still, you shouldn't.
