The more we can keep the authors in the loop the better we can communicate with them.<br><br>As it sits now, the author gets an email from Extend/Themes when the button "mark as old" or "approved" is clicked.<br>

Looking at the uploader, I see how it works. Basically, it connects to<br>
trac as "themetracbot" to submit the ticket. The problem is that it<br>
doesn't have access to the user's password at this point, so it can't<br>
create the ticket as the uploader user itself.<br>
<br>
I'll need to examine the trac code to see how it takes the passwords<br>
and such, but I don't see this as unfixable. If the ticket was created<br>
by the uploader user, then that might work better and allow for better<br>
emails and bidirectional communication and such.<br>
