except for multiple resolution issues, what about using a server-side script to append the icon sheet automatically?
so, say you had a system using exclusively 16x16 icons, the icons could be stored individually in some directory on the server itself, and every time a new icon is submitted and approved, the server calls a script (my guess PhP) , and assembles a new sheet from all the icons in that directory?
Then people can be extra lazy and don't need to re-download the full set of icons every time just to add to them!
IDK how hard this would be or what performance costs it would entail, it's just a suggestion.
Whatever the case, I agree the game icons should be included, but they certainly don't warrant their own submissions, and they also don't exactly fit under misc.
