Well when I checked Angus Lees (gus) didn't exist in db.debian.org. He now
does. Odd he was definately created before Craig's email but hadn't shown up.

Well the flow is: NM -> AM -> DAM. The information he has listed above
is input to AM and outputfrom AM. I was suggesting re-wording so that
they are both listed as input to the appropriate stage.

He already is, I'm just suggesting a wording change. I wasn't aware
new debian maintainer announcements were still occuring. What list
are they being sent on?

To what list? I note that the particular applicant, Angus Lees, I am looking
at is listed in db.debian.org but isn't marked as a new-maintainer in the
nm.debian.org database and does not have an account/directory on master or
auric.
What does the DAM step entail? Enrty into db.debian.org [yes]. Creation
of account/directory on various machines?
Oh, it strikes me that a field for the preferred login name / redirection
email for -private might be handy as well. But since on the DAM needs
that information they should say if that would be useful.
