The description of the debian-user list from lists.debian.org is: debian-user: Help and discussion among users of Debian A lot is going on in the world outside Debian. Every user of Debian should be free to raise any topic that (s)he believes is important to the Debian 'mission', which heavily invested in the proposition that software is and ought to be open and free (as in freedom). This is what 'discussion among users of Debian' means to me. The subject of the OP is "Assange and NSA". NSA has been accused of somehow infiltrating Debian and enslaving it. Assange is a celebrity, well known to almost everyone in the computer world, for innovative use of the internet to publish 'leaked' information. Any news event involving both, together, should be mentioned here, because of the nature of Debian, what it is and what it stands for. I have found that the commercial news channels in USA do not report this type of news very well or very quickly. How much discussion this report deserves is up to us to decide, but only after we hear about it.
