Well, I'm not prioritising this atm, but I don't believe you.

I tried to start a tiny blockchain archival project around the list archives, ... so it is very hard for me to download them, no biggy, we can disagree.

Deepfakes aren't real thus can't be endangered,
only challenged and exposed...

It's cool you're mentioning deepfakes.  I clicked your link and started learning just a little bit about generative adversial networks.  Ever feel like your whole country is a big GAN filled with clear and direct stories showing how this is true?

The fact that we still have world problems does not say a lot about freedom of software development nor freedom of communication.  Conflict is stirring in the huge communal tower of babel.

Let's change what you said.  Quoted for flavor, not meaning to imply you said this:

But that's obvious!  Everyone's expected to do their own review, especially if the code isn't signed by somebody in their network of trust.

It's important to safely state what's obvious when the world is saying something different.  A lot of people will learn it when you do.
