Other reasons come to mind:
1. Packages index on the NM list. Matching by names or email is not
realy working and I was told that would only be fixed once Debian had
a keyring of NMs.
2. Requesting nm.debian.org to send the applicants logfile to said
applicant. The requestmail could be signed or the log could be send
encrpyted with the NMs key. (For privacy reasons the log isn't public)
