[theme-reviewers] Guidelines regarding Theme Names

[Chip Bennett]

The issue is that comments_template() is required for correct implementation
of Comments, and the use of comments_template() requires a template file to
be passed as an argument.

So, if Themes incorporate comments functionality (which is a requirement),
they must use comments_template(), ergo, they must have a comments template
file.
