AFAIK, they _always_ get their account back immediately without requiring extensive justification (well, presuming they're obviously the same person, and maybe a "i'm looking at taking up maintenace of foo.deb" explanation is expected -- but those should apply equally to people who retired too). That's not what Martin seems to be saying, though: that seems to be to put them through n-m not as a first point of contact to get their account unlocked, but as a way of retraining them and ensuring they won't be as irresponsible again, and effectively punishing them for not following procedure.
