The Featured Users system would highlight or in some way promote users who regularly earn merit for their posts.

A no no from me. It can be easily determined by looking at the number of merits under your username (in-between the Activity and Posts) on the left. You can easily check the full merit history to have a decent idea about the users - if thing looks supercilious. And if you are missing the full merit history then you can use LoyceV's full merit transaction tool.

Pretty easier than adding another feature and add extra load for the forum script.
