[theme-reviewers] Using home.php as a static homepage template

[Emil Uzelac]

Hey Fränk,

Just an FYI that Responsive is switching over to front-page.php
instead which will be released in
1.9<https://github.com/cyberchimps/responsive/tree/1.9> I
had this locally, however
it's now on GitHub over Trent.

Thanks,
Emil
