I too would like to know. The main problem from a packaging
perspective (which is where I'm coming from) is that
gnome-themes-ubuntu wasn't introduced until after feature freeze. This
far into the cycle it would be hard to completely redo the package and
get it accepted into the archive. Hopefully Ken can help out from the
Canonical side on this.

Was there ever a process set up for making these decisions?

Impression does seem to be a likely candidate to me.

Either way, I'd volunteer to take on the new community-themes from the
packaging side. But that would require some decisions to be made, that
I don't have the authority to make. Which themes to include and a
promise of a freeze exception....

I made packages for them which I submitted to REVU, but feature freeze
came before they got a chance to be approved. I hope to submit them to
Debian sometime soon. That way they will get synced in for Karmic.
