Comment (by Otto42):

 There is a minimal readme.txt processing in the uploader form. However, it
 is not required for a theme to have such a file.

 There is a difference between what the theme and core team decides for
 requirements versus what is actually a requirement by the underlying code
 of the directory system.

 To implement such an upgrade notice system, code would be needed both in
 the core and in the theme directory to allow for such things.
