Re-opening the ticket implies that the Theme, as submitted, is under
consideration for acceptance into the Repository. That is a decision for the
Theme Review team, and primarily one of our Admins (Cais, Pross, etc.)

No. Closing the ticket does not preclude comments on that ticket. The Theme
developer can and should leave comments and questions regarding the Theme or
its review. In fact, I state such at the end of every review I perform.

Only you are claiming that the Theme reviewers don't want to have a
discussion with the Theme author - due, presumably, to your incorrect
association with a closed review ticket and absolute rejection of a Theme
and its developer. Perhaps if you disabused yourself of this incorrect
notion, you wouldn't be so up-in-arms?
