It is a difficult one because AMs are not setup to do this sort of
check. I would also be reluctant to have a step like this in because
I really do not know if my NMs are good Internet citizens. There is
no way for me to check either.
The purpose of the AM system is to reduce the load off the DAM for the
procedural stuff, checking wether or not someone is a slimeball is not
something AMs can do or should do.
However if AMs have some information about an applicant then I would
immediately email at least the DAM about it. I think this is more a
duty of being a Debian developer then specifically an AM duty.

I believed and still believe that this was the duty of the Debian Admin
people or the DSA.
