Right. I get that. Perfectly legitimate request.

So what you do is you go to the trac and find that theme's most recent
ticket. Here's the one for Attitude, for example:
http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14636

Then you leave a friendly comment saying that this theme appears to be
based on whatever, and that it seems to lack proper attribution.

Next time the theme comes up for review, the theme reviewer will examine
previous tickets (hopefully), see that comment, and make sure it has the
attribution added. If not, then they can require that for the theme to be
approved. Or they can flag it up as an exact copy, or whatever.

For theme reviewers to see anything, it must be brought up in-ticket.
That's what they're looking at and working with.
