[theme-reviewers] Translation-ready themes

[Sami Keijonen]

I also vote for `theme-slug.pot`. That's the most generic file and
translators can use any tool they want if that's included.

Ulrich pointed out the link which have 3 good solutions to create .pot
file.

Last time I checked Poedit didn't create style.css headers like description
or custom page template names. If that's  still the case that option is
out. I use Grunt tool nowadays.
