Comment (by zodiac1978):

 > Themes are recommended to include a readme.txt file, using plugin
 directory’s readme.txt markdown format. This recommendation will soon
 become required.

 https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/release/writing-documentation/

 Maybe this ticket could be revisited if a readme.txt is required.

 I'm still convinced that we are violating the attribution requirement if
 we hide those attributions in a readme.txt which is '''not''' shown to any
 backend user.

 > Declare licenses of any resources included such as fonts or images.

 This requirement from the theme team is typically handled through a
 readme.txt.
