I think this is something that many people would like, yes.

If we had started this earlier, I think we might have gotten more  
submissions. Sorry for being so late. We were busy with other things.

Currently we don't have anyone competent in XFCE theming on the team,  
which would be needed as a starting point. Writing docs is something many  
people would like to see happening, but very few actually are prepared to  
do the work. This makes me think the chance for docs appearning on XFCE  
theming on a Ubuntu Studio wiki/web site is pretty slim. But, we could put  
together links for existing external documentation. (this goes for all our  
workflows, and anyone is free to join our effort in making our docs  
richer).

I guess I answered this already, but, nope. It hasn't been abandoned.
