Welcome to the Themes team!
We are a group of volunteers who review and approve themes submitted to be included in the official WordPress Theme directory.
We do license, security, and code quality reviews.
We help build and maintain default themes.
The primary focus of the team is to help theme authors transition to block-based themes.
If this sounds interesting, read more about the team here. Check out our guide for new reviewers and the frequently asked questions.
