[theme-reviewers] New Ticket Resolution

[Chip Bennett]

So, we circle back to the original subject: the use of "approved with
comments".

I'm trying to understand your disagreement with this method. To me, it is a
reasonable compromise between approving generally good Themes, while also
moving Theme Developers toward increased conformance to the Guidelines.

So, can you help me understand your problems/issues with this approach? Is
it the approach itself, or is it the idea of formalizing it?
