Frans Pop decided to resign from Debian in May 2007. In October 2007 he decided to come back from retirement and continue participating. Here is a chart showing the number of messages per month on debian-private up to the death of Frans Pop in August 2010.
What we see here is that the last three months are really intense. It is a lot more than the average over previous months. There are over 300 messages in June 2010. That is 10 messages per day.
If something is on debian-private then it is usually unpleasant and stressful in some way. Charles Plessy and I called out this phenomena in December 2018. Lucy Wayland died four weeks later.
