[theme-reviewers] Could it be possible I get ownership of theme name in the repository?

[Otto]

I won't delete the existing theme. However, I can give you the name
and such, if you want to go with a version number higher than 1.0,
which is what he previously used.

It would be much easier for you to just change the name of the theme.
