If you look at the history for the past weeks, there are only a few reviewer.
Your theme is totally rewrite. Scanning directory stuff is beyond our knowledge if it is allowed in the repo. That is why many reviewers avoided your theme including myself.
I will suggest more experienced reviewers take a look as it is not simple theme update.

To deblock the queue, this ticket should then be treated in first : http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13131. It has been reopened 3 weeks ago by Chip Bennett but the developer did not answer Chip's question since then.

>> There are two sides of the fence on this subject, those who feel that themes should not include anything that a plugin can do; which is fine. There?s really nothing wrong with that method of thinking. The OTHER side, which includes myself and Emil and a bunch of others do not really think that it?s a necessity to police those particular things. A theme doesn?t have to be cross compatible in every way except the way that the theme unit looks. Any extra feature to a theme is just that, a bonus. Whether someone switches theme?s constantly makes no difference.
>>
>> A HUGE majority of themes that are being used are actually commercial themes: http://wordpress.org/themes/commercial/
>>
>> Those when switching to one theme or another will have some things no longer work ? and that is fine. There are plenty of ways, avenues and programming that you can take to include those features into the theme you switch to.
>>
>> The BIGGEST idea about that the don?t-worry-about-it group?s main objective is to make the theme review process easier and faster to get through. The biggest thing that people get hung up on returning day after day to review themes is how time consuming they are to go through. We also believe that it?s not the theme review team?s responsibility to control that aspect of allowing a theme to have a feature or not, that is up to the core dev?s to make that determination.
>>
>> Use all of the plugins, theme unit test and requirements for the backlinks and other things. Do the cursory views of everything that?s important and move em through the review process.
