Comment (by dd32):

 My personal opinion is that authors who consistently upload themes which
 have zero issues (ie. that get approved immediately, or with very little
 review, and do not consistently repeat the same mistakes) should quite
 possibly be allowed to have more than 1 theme in the queue.

 There are a number of companies in the WordPress space which have multiple
 theme authors creating themes for their customers, and as we require they
 get submitted through a singular company account, that's going to create a
 bottle neck.
 ''(Disclosure, Obviously I work for Automattic, and I know the above is
 true for us, I assume it's similar for other larger theme companies)''

 I would probably suggest that the 2nd (and possibly 3rd?) submission
 should be at a lower-priority in the review queue than a new author
 though, out of fairness. This is about unblocking the bottleneck, not
 giving highly preferential treatment.



 > this was a guideline put in place to stop the influx of authors
 submitting themes that were essentially just repeat themes with minor
 changes

 I'm not up to speed with this segment of theme authors, but would those
 themes be accepted/approved? As long as it meets the above requirements of
 consistently-good, I'm not sure if that's something that's a real issue.
