My app "TextPics" was featured about a year back - same deal. Vague contact from Apple requesting artwork, which we also followed to the letter. The difference for me was that it took about two months before this happened, and as stated on Apples AppStore guidelines I had a (fairly) strong AppStore presence, consistent updates, a quality design following their vaunted HIG, and most of all a unique interesting app (this was the first ASCII art texting app, before the cursed Chinese clones arrived, stealing and reselling all my content).
Bottom line is basically to have a unique high quality app and you might get noticed by the AppStore team. There was no silly technique or magic bullet.
I'll say this though... That two weeks in the Top 10 were insane. Spend a week at #3 and you won't need any more of these VC posts. I guess that was my taste of what the Angry Birds guy enjoys every single day.
