I think the suggestion is that on the entry form (newnm.php), you
could ask the applicant, probably before their name and email address:
Have you read the Social Contract and DFSG and agree to abide by them
in your Debian-related work? (You can read them <a>here</a>.) [Yes/No]
Do you yet have a GPG key signed by a current developer or some
other photo ID scanned in and signed with your GPG key? (Click
<a>here</a> for more information on this.) [Yes/No]
What do you intend to do for Debian? [textbox]
If you intend to package software, do you have a Debian package you
have adopted or created ready to show your AM? And if you intend to
do other things, do you have experience in those things which you can
tell your AM about? (You may want to get sponsorship to achieve this
goal. Click <a>here</a> for more information on the sponsorship
system.) [Yes/No]
Have you read the relevant documentation described <a>here</a>? [Yes/No]
PLEASE NOTE: if you are unable to answer Yes to all of the questions
asked, you are not yet ready to apply to the New Maintainer process.
If you answer "yes" anyway, your AM may choose to send you back to
the sponsorship system or to put your application on hold for three (?)
months until you are ready.
