There is no public (nor privately compiled) tracking of how many sMerits a Merit Source gets per month. A few have disclosed it at some time or other, but thats it, and it can range from as low as a dozen to several hundreds some in the upper hundreds range). The aggregate is currently:
There are 131 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 21045 sMerit per 30 days
There is no real need to know how many a sMerit Source has nor spends (aside from inner forum control), and it would only lead to groupies posting all around where Merit Sources posts (more than now). There is a thread here that managed to find out who many of them are. If you're very keen on it, you can try to locate it (clue: it's on Meta, and last edited no further than a quarter of a fortnight ago).
Also if they declare it publicly then those Merit sources inboxes will be filled up with PM asking for the merits. Theymos also told the exact.
I will not be posting a definitive list of merit sources (so that people don't bug them too much), though you'll soon figure out who they are if you pay attention.
Merit sources are the ones who will have a lot of smerit to be send. Anyone with a common sense can guess from the above links who are the merit sources.
