There is nobody "at" Debian because Debian is not a place or a legal organization. Depending on what you want out of your subpoena, the
information might already be publicly available. Otherwise, there *may* be individuals or related nonprofits or large contributing corporations you
could ask for certain information, but it's hard to guess who you'd be
looking for without an idea of what information you want.

Hello,
I’m a patent attorney at the law firm DLA Piper, and we came across some software written for Debian that is relevant to the validity of a patent at issue in one of our cases. As a result, we want to issue a subpoena to Debian to gather evidence relevant to our case.
Is there a registered agent for service of process of the subpoena, or somebody else at Debian that will accept service of a subpoena?
We appreciate your help.
