The theme review process was the polar opposite of how I would have implemented it. For this reason I've avoided being involved with the theme review process.

My only involvement would have been to say everything is wrong and instructed them to do it my way. This was not going to be productive, so I've always stood back and hoped the manual review process was ditched eventually. To be honest, I didn't think it would last a year. I assumed when the wait times got longer than a month that they'd just throw in the towel and give up. It seems the reviewers are more stubborn than I had anticipated :P
