Thanks for working.

Yes, if the applicant has provided his/her GPG public key which is 
signed by some (at least one) members of Debian project, then ID check 
is completed for that applicant.

If the applicant does not have the signed key, then he/she has to provide
the scanned/digitized photo-image of some identification, as same as the
old way.  This is written on our "New Maintainers' Corner". Please check
the step2. (http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-step2)
