Hi guys,

Is it possible for that ticket 
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19007  to reopen ?

Probably the reviewer is a trainee, so she closed the ticket just after 
the review and i didn't have any time to make changes.

I've waited 3 weeks for a reviewer and i guess that it will take the 
same amount of time if i reupload a newer version.

Thanks,
Alex Itsios
