I'll mark this one as not-approved.

With regard to the the idea that this is meant to be an absolute 
bare-bones, fast-loading, minimalist theme, I agree that it looks this 
way. However, there is absolutely nothing in the theme's description or 
the ticket to suggest that this is the intention. At the very least, if 
a user was presented with this theme in the Repo, they should have 
enough of a description to understand what they about to download. As I 
understand it, the whole review process is supposed to result in themes 
that offer a standardised set of core support features that allow for a 
smooth theme transition - with edge-cases and niche themes clearly 
identified.

If that was my theme, I'd have included a decent theme description as 
opposed to just "P-project first template" *and* probably followed it up 
with a note in the ticket explaining the intent behind it. In fairness 
to the theme's developer, I'll try and add something to this effect in 
case he does want to re-submit this as a special case.
