In reply to Justin Kopepasah.

seemed like they we nearly ready to publish until I said I wanted to release it as open source

Not quite. :)

I think there was some confusion about the submission of your theme as it was submitted to us via our channel for premium theme shops. Where it would have wound up in the queue with other premium themes.

We don't currently have a submission channel for free themes on WordPress.com. Sometimes people send us themes (like you did!) but usually we just pick the ones we think are the best of the best, comb through them closely to solve any outstanding design, UX, or code issues, and launch them when we've updated them. It's a little different than how the WordPress.org theme directory works.

That said, this theme is pretty awesome and it's on our list to launch on WordPress.com. :) Barring any weird issues with it WordPress.com users can expect to see it available there.
