[theme-reviewers] Submitting a One-Page Placeholder Theme

[Edward Caissie]

I'm good with something like that.
I think we also need to specify the Theme Author must explain why they
need/want to have their specific theme by-pass the upload checks in their
"User request"; maybe a form submission (a la plugins) rather than having it
hit this mailing list?

I'm all for finding a way to open the repository to quality niche themes,
but something tells me Pandora's box may be in the shadows ... are we
missing anything?


Cais.
