Hello theme review team. I've been reading this thread and I have a
few ideas to consider, "or just tap delete". I'm not sure if your
open to suggestions from non-active users of the mailing list. I'd
like to help out when circumstances permit. Until I get a job and
actually make some money doing what I enjoy I don't think I'd be a
productive member. I do like reading the emails and learning what I
can from the conversations here though. Enough about me, here are my
thoughts:<br>
<br>
I like the idea of having a separate "section" in the repository for
niche themes. If these type themes are going to get approved it
could become a congestion issue for the majority of users. Maybe a
list of pro's and con's will help throw the idea out with the least
amount of explanation.<br>
<br>
<blockquote><big><b>The possible issues:</b></big><br>
<ol>
<li>The need to create a separate process for the niche themes (<i>adding
to the already busy reviewer's schedule</i>).</li>
<li>A good possibility that the mailing list will receive a
significant increase of <i>"I submitted my theme 3 days ago,
why hasn't..."</i></li>
<li><i>___________________________________________________ *
This line intentionally left blank for reasons unknown to
"inactive users (me).</i></li>
</ol>
<b><big>The Benefits:</big></b><br>
<ol>
<li>A much faster turn-out for approved/rejected themes once the
initial process is hashed out and agreed upon.</li>
<li>A chance for new theme reviewers to join that might be
intimidated by the process or don't think they can find the
time to join now</li>
<li>The increase of memberships could relieve the workload of
the current review team, and should uncover at least a few
"diamonds in the rough"</li>
<li>By separating the themes in the Repo you make it easier for
the users that do/don't care about the niche themes.</li>
<li>Maybe kill two birds with one stone and merge the child
themes into the new subsection</li>
</ol>

As I mentioned earlier, I don't know enough about the current
process to say my thoughts hold any truth. I just thought I'd put
my 2 cents in the pot.<br>
<br>
If a separate section is formed I'll get the ball rolling and sign
up. No guarantee I'll be able very be productive, but I guarantee<small>
