I'm not a Taiko people so I might not post something huge, but usually analyzing the current situation between people is a good start. Guess this thread is a good beginning.
If there aren't much taiko maps in the ranked section as you think, then my opinion for that will be "start thinking backwards". When taiko maps first appeared, they were combined with an osu difficulty which is mostly refered as "Taikosu!". Are there any maps like this? None for years. Contacting some standard mappers who are interested in taiko community to resurrect this project might make taiko mappings gather some attention.
Also problems exist when ranking maps as far as I see due to insufficient members of Taiko BNs. Maybe the time could solve this, but if waiting takes too much, hopping into hybrid mapsets as the real Taiko diffs appeared would make more ranked taiko maps. Some BN members will refuse requests of hybrid mapsets, but I foresee it to be less harder than getting a taiko only map ranked.
