I don't see a good reason to restrict that to AM. Any information handled
in the NM process doesn't require more privacy than the one that we have
with the -private list.
I really think we should handle NM much like we handle MIA people:
for each applicant have a mailbox on merkel:/org/nm.debian.org and let the
AM feed that mbox by sending mails to nm-applicant=home.com@nm.debian.org
Thoses mboxes should be readable by all DD (and in particular by all AM).
The public mail interface would also let other DD interacting with the
applicant write their support (or their fears) directly into that mbox.
That way, when an AM put someone on hold, all his work is already
available and when the applicant comes back, another AM (currently active)
can take over the process and finish the process with the applicant.
And finding the detailed history of someone is a matter of logging into
merkel and using "mutt -f". We would even create executive summary like we
do with "mia-query" by extracting one specific header of each mail in the
mbox.
I'd be ready to implement (or help implement) something like that. It
really shouldn't be hard to do based on the various mia scripts that are
already available ...
(I largely prefer this over a dedicated NNTP/IMAP server)
