Perhaps only to promote GRUB. I don't know if Bazaar is well suited for handling binary files though. And as a GNU project we would need to check licenses of pictures, logos, fonts and so on before we can include it. If such a check is a burden or the result isn't clear I prefer not to have any theme at all. Actually I prefer not to put any artwork in repository and if GNU is to distribute a theme at all perhaps it could be just a tarball download from alpha.gnu.org > and maybe also a separate Debian theme (Felix and I need to discuss about > what we like best).

Perhaps they would even agree to host GRUB themes too. This way we offload the task but I don't know if GNU can recommend gnome-look.org.
