I just see why it got added, and honestly, I think part of what pushed it to be added was everyone else in the community pointing out how obvious it is that she's the Spring Maiden. When she summoned lightning from the sky, we could finally say "Okay, she actually did a Maiden thing. Combine that with how Qrow said the Spring Maiden is with Raven's tribe, her name is literally Spring, and the opening suggests conflict between her and Cinder, who was ordered to retrieve the Spring Maiden."

The whole "being cautious by not adding anything that's not 100% confirmed" thing is difficult because there are things that are pretty obvious and everyone wants them added, so it's a question of "Should we? Shouldn't we?" Even staff members have had things that we wanted to be added but weren't added for a long while, or things that we didn't want added yet but were added.

So, even with the obvious signs that Vernal is most likely the Spring Maiden, we were waiting for her to do something Maiden-like before we did anything. Summoning lightning from the sky with her hand aiming at where the lightning struck was Maiden-like.
