[theme-reviewers] Abandoned/Changed Theme Name, Requesting Transfer

To clarify a bit, here's the original submission, as "Journal", by
BestWebSoft:
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15796

And here is the re-submission, as "Journalism", by BestWebSoft:
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16051

I think that, when a developer changes the name of a Theme, the original
name should be available for someone else to use.
