I just saw this post. This is a very good read. Nice to know what goes into being a curator. I'd like to do this too, I shall after I'm done graduating and have more time to spend. :)
I really liked the pitch you wrote for my post, especially the bits you picked up from my introductory post.
I like when I can help make the person reviewing the submission know the person. It definitely seemed to work well too as the two people I knew more about from talking to them and seeing their posts were the two that were accepted.
It is weird you are the third person who has said they want to also do it or have asked me all the right questions about how to find a good post to show me for submission, and I think all three of you would be great at it...and it just so happens all three of you were also people I submitted this week.
Let me know when you are ready. By then I will be established enough and have the power to get people in.
