Well, I really think that we have enough merits giveaway topics in this forum.
I remember I sew a few such topics recently in the beginners section of the forum, in some local boards and even meta.
In fact, I started myself one such merit giveaway in the beginners section for the newbie members but looked this topic because almost no applications.
It seems it's difficult for the new members in the forum, without much knowledge and experience in the crypto world to write good quality posts.
I focus now on the following topic in my local Croatian section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4265795.0where local members can report their good quality posts and receive merits.
So, I really don’t think that we need such special topic in Meta for merit giveaway.
Members with good quality posts will receive merits, with or without merit giveaway topics.
