This is your "job".

None of them say `teach your applicant the essence of PKI and then
prepare an exam for them to evaluate them' (or something similiar).
Your task(s) are not that low-level. They are high-level (identity
check, tasks & skills, policy and procedures) and you should expect
your applicant to be able to satisfy them without prompting from you.
Any prompting you do is a courtesy. Most AMs provide assistance
though.

Well I asked one of them (James) about you. He didn't know who you were,
so I don't think he is cursing you.

Or you pointed him to debian-mentor@lists.debian.org or any of the
task-specific mailing lists (-x, -ipv6, -perl, etc.) that can
help.
My role is make sure that anyone I approve has the ability to figure out
where they need to go for further help and/or information. They can
always ask me (of course) but if they have to often then I have failed
(in my own opinion).
