[theme-reviewers] Featured Themes

I don't want to take this off track but I do want to add my thoughts to the
"criteria" being used to choose the next Featured Themes ...

I don't agree with theme authors, or someone affiliated with a specific
theme, nominating their own theme(s) ... if there is not enough interest
from an unbiased community member to nominate the theme then maybe it
shouldn't be nominated?

That being written, and excluding my themes from being nominated by myself,
I do not have any recommendations at this time for a Featured Theme as I
would much prefer a more random approach.

There are currently 179 pages of themes with approximately 15 themes per
page ... I would be fine randomly(?) choosing the 13th theme on the 13th
page. I have no idea which theme that may be as there are a few ways to
choose the sort order but if it happens to be one of mine then go to the
next theme on that page.
