<br>- When this is green-lighted, I believe there should be an announcement about the suspensions or required theme updates published two weeks to a month before the fact and at an avenue where it would be seen by all e.g. <a href="http://wordpress.org/news/" target="_blank">wordpress.org/news/</a> or at Weblog Tools Collection, etc, This can serve as a friendly reminder to theme authors to upgrade themes or to "offer the theme up for adoption", etc. <br>

Btw, can theme reviewers post such upgrade reminders in closed tickets just to get the message to the authors?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't see why not. As I understand it, the theme author continues to receive emails on comments on a ticket even if it is closed.</div>
