There is indeed a theme competition being discussed on groups 
(http://groups.drupal.org/theme-competition-administration) but there is 
no way that this will give us a stable theme by 4.8.  Dries has said a 
new theme can make it to 4.8, but this means the solution needs to be 
SUPER-quick because a code freeze hits on September 1.

Hence I'm jumping on contrib as being the source.

I have had another thought about short-listing the themes. I will ask an 
admin to tell me which themes are the most downloaded. Put the list up 
for scrutiny (ie. kick out the really badly coded ones, if any).
