This means that people without FAX machines can't be application managers, then? > I think it is good that Debian has some legal document for each > maintainer.

Many good developers (especially crypto types) are pretty paranoid about this sort of thing. I think saying "lets put arbitary constraints in the NM-process so we can reduce the number of pplicants" is a dangerous thing to do - you can't guaruntee to remove the "lest worthwhile" potential applicants. Sure, the process itself should (and does) involve a certain amount of screening; but there's a difference between carefully screening applicants to ensure that the worthwhile ones get selected, and arbitarily trying to put people off to reduce our workload.
