This is the main point that I want to discuss. The above method, which I also proposed several days ago, is the most practical, efficient and reliable solution, I believe. Official maintainers of Debian JP have already much information on the reliability, ability and identity of the candidates from Debian JP through their activity in Debian JP. So he can communicate much more details on a phone call with candidates and if necessary he can report the results to members of new-maintainer with e-mail which is much easier than with a phone call for Japanese. But members of new-maintainer team in (for example) the U.S. get such information only through a phone call which may result short on substance because of language problem. Which is more reasonable ?
