My bulk of submissions this month were like this, older, not published 
images. The intention was to work more on them (like expand the RPG map 
symbols), but because we were so close to 5K (mostly due to 
contributions to Gerald and Francesco Rollandin) I felt compelled to 
submit right now and not wait.

Correct, but I think the contributors need some motivation, for example 
I would be instantly bored if I had to draw the hotel icon set, but 
Gerald seems to do it just fine :D

Agreed.

I thought about this for some times and wanted to propose 10K as a 
target for the end of the year but waited for the release to see the 
precise stats on 5K.
