Similar to #7087 for plugins, themes that are `delisted` just end up
sitting there in that state forever. Not showing in searches and listings,
but still available if you know of the theme name, and continuing to be
updated.
If a theme isn't relisted within 12 months, the theme should really just
be suspended entirely, in my opinion.
If a theme is sitting in the delisted state longer than that, it seems
like either
- a) The theme shouldn't be made available
- b) The author isn't aware of it, or
- c) The theme mod isn't aware of it
