I know that theymos is the only one that accept merit source applications. But I think it's been a while since he add up new merit source applicant/s. There are tons of applications pending for months, so I was thinking maybe theymos was fed up with other works here (technical,advertise section, and etc) to entertain it. Or Im guessing that the applicants didnt pass his qualification but I doubt it. There are some really good applications on this LIST Open Merit Source Applications,waiting list.

There are currently 97 trusted MS according to this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources

So I am thinking if this is possible, if those 97 merit sources can have an opportunity to vote and decide which application/s should be granted an opportunity. Those current merit sources were handpicked by theymos so I guess he trust the judgement of these people to look out for potential one too.

Looks like total merit generation is also decreased from 21671 to 21171 (reduced by 500), assuming total merit generation stats at 21671 between tranthidung posts and Blacknavy demotion.

I prefer beef up existing and active MS, but why not both? Some MS might be inactive or less active than usual.
But this suggestion is okay too (the first one) but its cool to have new merit source too on appropriate boards ( where we used the voting process I suggested)


Just a suggestion guys.
