To my knowledge, no one new has been badged in February or March. @Gabrielle was badged today, but more for functional reasons than clout reasons. (See prev market) I've attached two past markets of mine which contain a list of 10 promising candidates for the badge. If no one on this list is badged in April, but someone else is, and I don't remember their previous badge status, I may require confirmation from a Manifold employee that their badge is new.
If the badge is renamed or redesigned, it counts as long as it's the same entity.
General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

Just wanted to drop a note of thanks for surfacing these trustworthy-ish candidates! @CGPGrey, @KatjaGrace, @AmmonLam, and @AndrewG now all have badges 😁
@Austin At long last!
Any particular reason the other candidates were rejected? Just not enough record of activity?
@Austin This seems pretty questionable. I like Ammon, but they often don't communicate much, and some of their markets have very unclear resolution criteria. I do not trust them to resolve such markets correctly.
Also, CGP Grey only just joined the site, and there's next to no direct evidence that they're going to do a good job as a market creator. Seems like the trustworthy badge is being used as a "verified" badge instead as per /itsTomekK/will-manifold-introduce-a-verifiedo.
@Austin I think the fact that /IsaacKing/will-any-user-with-a-trustworthy-is-a6a30ae6c9d6 is so high should be concerning.
@IsaacKing i second the arguments of popularity =/= trustworthy, and trustworthy badge feeling like a verified badge
