[theme-reviewers] Theme trac and emails

[Edward Caissie]

The more we can keep the authors in the loop the better we can communicate
with them.

As it sits now, the author gets an email from Extend/Themes when the button
"mark as old" or "approved" is clicked.

That is all the communication that is done (by defaults) at the moment that
I am aware of, adding emails from Trac would be a great help.

While you are looking at it, can you add an auto-subscribed "update by
email" function ... or at least on by default, if possible.
