Maybe an separate x11-themes/awesome-themes is the better alternative here? If so, then please change the Summary and the Component fields accordingly.

Also, where do we find a repository of themes? Many seem to have a dedicated wiki page, so I've put the link to the category in the [URL] field.

I don't really think that we should package third party themes. It means that maintainers should somehow track every single theme, which almost certainly aren't versioned and have no mail list or some other kind of notification. Themes are out there to grab, I don't think it's worth to spend manpower on this: how many users would use non-customized third party theme? Not many, I suspect.
