The people you mentioned had their merit source application since perhaps you must have just noticed. And recently they were accepted as a merit source just yesterday most of them made their declarations. Except for Thempen, we are yet to know if he was accepted or not.
So far 17 persons were added to the list of merit source.
I was just busy today because of Eid ul Adha Event. I just updated that I am now merit source. I just saw the mention in my Telegram Bot and I read your reply. So I think I need to update, so I have updated it in my merits source application.
