No, it means that only applications that have been somehow recorded in melange
will be taken into account by Google. The FAQ entry has been carried over from
last year, so the way we do things just keeps working.

So, to make it clearer, we want the full applications on the Debian wiki, and
students have to record their application on Melange to be considered. They can
just put a URL to the wiki on their melange application page.
