Current infrastructure is that one AM takes one applicant. This whole
argument is rather red and herring-like though. As I have said (on
several occasions), requiring ID doesn't gain us anything, is
unnecessary, and some applicants may quite rightly object to it, so we
should remove this requirement.

But we do anyway - when a key is signed, the signing developer sees
some ID that shows that the person has the name that they give on
their key.
