I really appreciate the "dibs roll over" feature. That takes the pressure off.

"3, 6, 9, 12 ..."
I was thinking that the ramp-up is so fast that "throttling" is almost over by day 3. Maybe if many people do not get their first few urgent requests, they'll still be sweating even after having had 18 requests by the end of Day 3.
My own scenario is that I don't expect to have a very long "Must have" list unless someone hosts a swap with a theme near and dear to my heart. Usually I don't expect the things I'll be interested in to have many eager requestors, so my ideas about throttling don't matter much.
I am totally fine with however Dave wants to do it, as long as future hosts get to chose how much throttling they want.
I might have picked a shallow ramp that disappears after just 5 days, like:
3, 4, 5, 7, 9, no limit
But I've been known to sit out the first day to let the dust settle.
