[theme-reviewers] Custom Post Metas in the Theme

[Towfiq I.]

when we submit a theme through the uploader. The uploader detects and
returns an error when there is a important tag missing. Isn't it possible
to make the uploader extend its functionality and check whether the
uploaded theme has custom post type registered with register_post_type and
if it does, the uploader shows an error and does not continue with the
submission process.

just my 2 bits.
