In reply to Carolina.

That's one thought I wish I would have focused more on. This is a two-way street. Part of dealing with our frustrations as theme authors is getting more involved directly in the project.

On that note, it would probably be interesting to see the Themes Team take more charge of pointing theme authors toward tickets that affect themes. Maybe as part of team meetings or regular blog posts. Perhaps have someone from the team take up the role of Gutenberg Abassador and assign them the task of getting the two teams and theme authors more on the same page.

Either way, we need more themers to proactively participate.
