<div dir="ltr">There are so many different approaches that could be taken but I really like the idea of a theme author choosing to put their work up for "adoption" rather than having it removed and/or being able to designate a new contributor to the theme a la plugins having multiple contributors. In essence, add the adopter as another "contributor" and they carry forward while still keeping the original author's contributions intact ... its probably really involved under the page but another idea to (re)consider.<div>

I always make a suggestion to theme authors to transfer their themes, instead of remove them from the repository.</div><div><br></div><div>My two cents</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
