[theme-reviewers] Abandoned/Changed Theme Name, Requesting Transfer

[Chip Bennett]

I think it's worth discussion.

The Theme was originally submitted as "Journal", and then re-submitted, and
approved, as "Journalism":
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16635

Thus, the name "Journal" is now abandoned, and unavailable for use.
