[theme-reviewers] Themes approval process is really slow

[Greg Priday]

I've mentioned it before - I think a paid review system would work
wonders. The new theme review queue is approaching one month long now,
that's just far too long.

Another option is for everyone who is generating an income out of
distributing free themes, to pool our resources and hire at least one
full-time reviewer. Are any of the commercial-up-sellers out there
keen on this idea?

In the mean time I'll just contribute some time. Could someone assign
a test theme to me? My username is gpriday
