@Chip ...<br><br>I actually have been using two (similar) review boilerplate/templates. After some reviews and edits considering your suggestion, this is what I will likely be going forward with:<br><br>For full reviews, et al.:<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">Theme Review:<br>- Themes should be reviewed using "define('WP_DEBUG', true);" in wp-config.php<br>- Themes should be reviewed using the test data from the Theme Checklists (TC)<br>
<br>--<br>WP_DEBUG et al.:<br><br><br>--<br>TC:<br><br><br>--<br>General Observations:<br><br><br>--<br>Overall: not-accepted<br>* Items marked => must be addressed, they are singificant and will most likely<br>cause the theme to be not accepted.<br>
* Items marked with -> are suggestions, but recommended to be addressed.<br>* Items marked with - are notes and observations.<br>* Other items noted should be addressed and corrected as needed.<br>* Additional review may be required once the above issues are resolved.<br>
<br>Again, this is not a complete review. The Theme may have other issues that do<br>not meet the Theme Review Guidelines.<br>* Theme Review - <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review">http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review</a><br>

... this will generate a new Trac ticket.<br><br>NB: Re-submitted Themes are given review priority over new Themes that have not<br>been reviewed yet.<br><br>Also note, to preserve your queue position if you upload a new revision to the<br>
theme before the current Trac ticket has been resolved:<br>1. Note the "new" ticket number of the revision.<br>2. Go to the oldest *open* ticket for your theme.<br>3. Add a comment to the *open* ticket with a link to the "new" ticket.<br>

Cais,<div><br></div><div>This is certainly a potential disconnect between users of Core-Trac and Theme-Trac. Closing a ticket on Theme-Trac means a completely different thing than closing a ticket on Core-Trac. With Core-Trac, closing a ticket basically means the change doesn't get implemented. So, anyone used to working with Core-Trac would likely interpret a closed ticket in Theme-Trac as meaning that a Theme won't be considered.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It might be helpful to put wording similar to this in the ticket comment:</div><div><br></div><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 40px; border: medium none; padding: 0px;"><div><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><p>
<b>Responding To This Review</b><br></p><p>Theme cannot be accepted until items listed under <b>Required</b> are addressed. Once these issues have been resolved, please re-submit your Theme using the uploader tool on <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes" target="_blank">wordpress.org/extend/themes</a>, and a new Trac ticket will be generated. Re-submitted Themes are given review priority over new Themes.</p>
