There are less than 100 DT1 members

What? Check the first reference I provided in OP!

Nope, they are users in trust list of theymos, and not all of them are DT1 members.
To get list of DT1 members, please get it here: Complete overview of users on DT1 and DT2 and their ratings
There are 94 DT1 members, as I saw.

I am pretty sure that is not the case.

Please create a Brand New profile and go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust, so that you can see forum's DT, not your customized one. You'll find the following list under DT1...

There are 100 members in the above list.

In the post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117330.msg51424908#msg51424908, theymos clearly said...

More than 100 would be selected, so a random subset of eligible users will be chosen each month to bring it down to 100. This month 111 users were eligible.

My point was Why a random subset, while you can filter through Forum Position? May be Legendary is not required now, but minimum level can be set as Full Member.

Merit system is in place since January 24, 2018. A lot of people contributed before, but did not earn any merit for that. Those threads have gone down in the history of BitcoinTalk. Only a handful of those get merit today. IMHO, the only way to recognize the contribution made before January 24, 2018, is to consider Forum Position as a selection criteria of DT.
