   How does something like this sound?  

1) Let the applicant know of the accusations (URL, whatever).  Applicant put
   on hold.
2) Applicant chooses to quit or argue against accusations.
3) Applicant may choose to have a small group of NM people evaluate
   accusations and evidence. Applicant must agree not to sue this group
   regardless of decision or accidental leaks.  Applicant could appeal
   using step 4.  The evidence would be kept quiet, not sure about result -
   we'd want to let future NM people know not to just blindly accept this
   person.
4) Applicant can have the full NM committee publicly evaluate accusations,
   similarly holding all of Debian harmless.  The results and evidence here
   would necessarily be public.
