[theme-reviewers] BuddyPress theme rejected?

[Edward Caissie]

I'm not having any issues with a github repository link for the Theme URI,
especially with the noted benefits @Frumph and @zamoose have mentioned.
I also agree it is a great way to have multiple authors contributing to a
central Theme location until dot-org finds a way to offer the same
functionality a la plugin contributors.


Cais.
