[theme-reviewers] Theme Review Guidelines

[Chip Bennett]

The latter point will be addressed in the February program changes.

But as a general note: any Theme that has a generated ticket has already
passed the critical/required tests in Theme Check (otherwise, the Theme
would fail the upload checks). From that point, Theme Check is only a tool
for the reviewer, to help point out areas for further scrutiny. Dumping
Theme Check output in review ticket comments is almost always redundant,
confusing, and unnecessary.

Based on most of the "approved" tickets I've been auditing, I suspect that
several reviewers are reviewing Themes without ever looking at any of the
Themes' code.
