[theme-reviewers] Commercial Theme Provider Directory

[Otto]

Right. That would be me and Scott. Mostly Scott.

We'll get around to it, but it's understandably low priority, low traffic,
and taken care of on an "as-we-get-to-it" basis. Delay is inevitable, and
from our point of view, actually helpful. In the past, when we added
anybody and everybody who asked, we found that a lot of the companies that
asked disappeared after about a month or two and so we would have a page
full of broken links or worse, links pointing to spam domains.

While delay isn't an intended feature, it does ensure that commercial
groups which aren't still around a couple of months later when we finally
get back to them aren't wasting our time. Updating that list is extremely
manual, so we want to have to maintain it as little as possible. If the
list was to become a maintenance burden, then it would likely be removed
entirely instead.
