In reply to Daniel James.

I can't remove blockers, if no one is every willing to say "this is blocking me". I appreciate everyone who takes the time, but I still need the feedback to be specific to be able to adress it.

I have already responded about git above. But I want to clarify again that
the theme directory preview, the upload process and the review process are 3 separate things. They are handled by different WordPress.org teams.
When they are seen as one, it makes it more difficult for us to separate the concerns and improve the theme review process, because it becomes unclear what they main issues are.

The theme review queue is about one hour, so I strongly disagree on that point.
