I think the Recognized list is about as long as it should be: I'd like it to serve as a short list of games that somebody new to variants and this site would start with.
The Classic are unlikely to be touched any time soon. The Vintage and Famous could be updated over time, but it should be a slow process (in particular, see the criteria for Vintage). The Popular and Acclaimed lists, to me, have been superceded by the Favorites list and Game Courier's most played list. However, in the spirit of keeping the page up to date, I wouldn't mind (1) dropping these lists in favor of links to Favorites and GC-MostPlayed or (2) updating the list(s) with panel-chosen games; in either case, I would advocate for keeping a historical recording of what games are removed or added and when (removed games should be thought of perhaps as good games that have gone out of vogue).
If this gets updated: I don't think there needs to be any word count or similarly mechanical requirement for proposals. The proposal just needs to convince whoever is making the decisions that a game should be added.
