We are the humans that check every theme that goes onto the WordPress.orgWordPress.orgThe community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/theme directory. See more under the “What do we do?” section below.
Having your theme in the WordPress.org directory is desirable, so there is always a need for reviewers. Humans can catch things machines can’t, that is simply why we need people to become theme reviewers.
There are many reasons it’s important to get involved in theme reviewing. If you are a theme developer it raises your game, it helps you improve your skills and lets you get exposure to a lot of code.
It also keeps alive the valuable resource of the free theme directory. Without the themes team, the directory wouldn’t be a place people could go to download themes. Quite simply, we keep it alive.
Being a theme reviewer is a win-win situation. You get to give back, but you also get to improve your own skills and learn how to create themes correctly.

We check that the theme works, that there are no PHPPHPPHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. http://php.net/manual/en/intro-whatis.php. errors, and that the theme is secure.
