Yes, of course this is general issue, not specific to Debian JP.
But this is still a BIG problem to be pointed out.

It is practically very important to know what is acceptable and
what is not as identification. Does this mean Japanese driver's
license (written completely in Japanese) is acceptable in real ?

Well, of course he has a way to get a phone call, but

by your common sense which has practical meaning in the process
of verification for Japanese candidates
- communication on a phone between foreigners short on substance, or
- communication on a phone between Japanese with much more substance
under the condition that there are highly trustable people in Japan :-)
By the way, there are about 50 (local) maintainers in Debian JP and
among them, there are already eight official maintainers.
