Of course. Merit source number should be increased to match the number of forum's member because there are some of high quality members left unmerited because the coverage of current merit source is not that wide. I suggest it should be added based on region/local board activity, because there are gems hidden in the local boards, and some of them are not good at english. There are no rule stated that a meritorious post should be in english right?
Maybe 100 merit sources needed as a start, for now?
