Due to new info by the admin involved, we are formally issuing a retraction.

Maven did not, in fact, leak Private Mentions and make them public. What was mirrored ended up being a cached copy of a public post that was sent in error, then deleted under the infamous "Delete and Redraft" function.

The article has been updated to reflect this, front and center.
