This don't have to be 'public', but viewable by all AMs would be
sufficient. If would be doable with a pretty simple programm running on
pandora (aka nm.d.o) through which all mails would go... How about
something like this:
 - Each applicant gets a unique ID (maybe there is already one in the
   DB)
 - Mails go through 12345-am@nm.debian.org resp. 12345-nm@nm.d.o; final
   reports go to 12345-done@nm.d.o. Reply-To: will automatically be set
   to the right address.
 - There would be an archive only accessable by AMs.

I don't know if would be save much time, and if if would make much
sense. But I guess that I would add some more transparency...
