[theme-reviewers] Theme Copy

[Justin Tadlock]

And, here's an example of how I handled exactly what Otto is saying once 
before:
http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10575#comment:1

The theme author attributed the work in the next version.  No big deal.  
Just post on the Trac ticket.  The reviewer and the theme author can 
both see it.
