In reply to Emil Uzelac.

It makes way more sense to have someone or a small group of 3-5 people that takes on the role of an official theme review team. Yes, pay them. I’d do that. Important to find people who have years of theme experience. The position would require applications and interviews for the role(s).

Ultimately you potentially get reliability, a good review flow for speed of reviews, and most of all, consistency. You would also get a dedicated group that can meet up and collaborates on theme/author issues that consistently shows up in reviews; coming up with solutions.

I’d even go as far as making the design as part of the review process…yes, I know there are people who say that is not possible and that design is subjective, but there really should be a design review in addition to code and security reviewing. I mean, Emil, you do that being part of TF, right?
