Comment (by poena):

 This is how themes that have not been updated in two years are set live:

 1) Author uploads a theme and receives the notification that their theme
 is set live automatically
 2) Author realizes their update is not actually live
 3) Author updates their theme, again, thinking that something went wrong.
 4) Author waits 5 hours
 5) Author ask in the theme review teams Slack channel why their theme is
 not live
 6) Anyone who can set themes live in the theme directory admin area
 reviews the theme and sets it live.
