theymos has used a fairly diverse group of people acting as merit sources, with the goal of having merit sources give out their sMerit supply to a wide range of people who are deserving merit.

By now, theymos shows that he has not had plans to expand merit sources too much, but total merit sources will be increased over time, when the forum will become much bigger than now. With low inflation of merit sources, maybe when new merit sources added, distributional merits on old sources might be adjusted (of course, weeks after operations of new merit sources, when they demonstrate that they actually do their works as sources well).
The latest expansion of merit sources increased total merit sources from 123 to 130 (after the withdrawal of @Vod weeks ago).

After checking (today), I saw that after the biggest latest change, there are 130 merit sources, but today I checked and found that we already have 131 merit sources in total (one new merit source added, but don't know when it was added)
