Yes!  We want (as a group) to see the id.  The fact that a developer has
signed the key means we don't need to take any further steps to verify
that the id belongs to the applicant (in other words, we DO trust
developers to follow proper procedures when signing keys).

Why do you have such a big problem with the idea of supplying ids?
(which Debian has required at least since 1996/7 when I joined.)
