You can find other maps by searching for them by name. So if a map gets featured on a review site or something and people specifically search for it, it'll get more popular, and eventually it might end up on the Popular list.
I don't think the popular list is a problem, it's good for what it is, as long as there are resources (like review sites or people who feature good new maps on youtube, etc.) people will find and play new maps.
A digg/reddit style system for maps would be pretty neat though instead of straight up ranking by popularity.
