Nice job!! Tremendous accomplishment!! I have been at this for almost 25 years myself and I am only at the halfway point.

Congratulations Tom. Way to persevere. The CMC and this site maintains records on finishers but am sure they understate the number since many don't report it.

I actually just emailed them yesterday, because the MySummit logging has yet to be migrated over to their new website. (They completed a huge website overhaul over the last few weeks). Someone replied saying that those features would be migrated over in the future. They used to post the names of the finishers by year on the old site, so I hope to see something similar on the new one!

Definitely be sure to reach out to them on how to log your accomplishment as a 2022 finisher.
I emailed them this year because I remembered they kept a log and wanted to log it myself this year - they got back to me and said that it will eventually be available but right now there's no link because of a few reasons - The site migration and who is responsible for it. They also explained that the Colorado Mountain Club Foundation (different entity than CMC) has been responsible for the official list and the Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) posted it as a courtesy (both online and in their Trail and Timberline publication). It sounds like the Foundation will take over the 14ers and other completers' lists, however, there is still no set way to do this yet or links.
So... for 2022 it sounds like there isn't much right now. I'll be following up and keeping an eye on it though.

Congratulations on a great accomplishment.
I am currently on about the same timeline as you; started in 2001, still have about 15 to go but retirement (and therefore more time to climb, hopefully) is looming. I am currently 54 yo so knowing that someone has finished at age 60 gives me continued hope that I can finish. All the best to you.

The number of 14 finishers is probably somewhere between 5000 and 10000, but the exact number isn't as important as it is that you accomplished a long term goal that required a lot of effort spread out over multiple days.

Hmmm, I didn't know about the Colorado Mountain Club Foundation specifically :-k But good to know—thank you so much for sharing this information!
