How about an SVN repository for themes? I can see how the overhead of maintaining them and their sheer size/number makes them poor candidates for inclusion with Typo itself, but just having a central repository where we can store themes (with the authors' approval of course) would help keep them up-to-date. In the case of themes that are no longer being actively maintained by the authors, users could commit patches so that the redundancy of each user patching their local install by hand is removed.
If people think this is something worth doing, I'm happy to volunteer for chasing authors about approvals.
