[theme-reviewers] Question: Someone Want to Take Benefit From a 'Top Reviewer of the Month'.

[Konrad Sroka]

Otto +10000

Why not get rid of the featured themes sections like it is now and have a
filter for

"most downloaded" and "best rated"


Maybe add a filter or tag for commercially supported themes, so you know
you can get professional support and stuff like that..

Or make a poll on wordpress.org twice a year and the results are the
"featured" themes

Cheers, Konrad
