[theme-reviewers] accessibility-ready and suspensions

[Edward Caissie]

I would say we can suspend a theme for using that particular tag
incorrectly ... saying something is a fluid-layout when it is not versus
saying something is a11y ready when it is not are two completely different
ideas.

These authors have been advised once already, correct? I would send a
second notification this issue needs to be addressed (another comment with
a fair ... 72 hours? ... time limit to correct and/or respond to at least
acknowledge they are aware of the issue and intend to correct it);
otherwise, suspend the theme and be done with it. Any of the WPTRT admins
have access to suspend themes if warranted, we just would prefer not to in
most cases.

The available choices for a11y compliant themes is very limited, there is
no reason whatsoever to dilute that pool with themes that do not follow the
current guidelines.
