Yes, I wrote it myself (as you might guess from the line that says
“Author: Colin D. Bennett <colin@gibibit.com>”.  ;-)  And yes, it is
covered under my contributor agreement.

The theme format document is natively written in reStructuredText (rST),
a lightweight markup that is really pleasant to read and write in plain
text.  I think it should be easy to convert it to Texinfo.

The rST source for the document is at
<http://grub.gibibit.com/Theme_format.txt>.

(Conveniently, the GRUB wiki supports rST markup using "#FORMAT rst" at
the beginning of the page.  That made it possible for me to simply
paste my original document in rST format into the ThemeFormat wiki page
<http://grub.enbug.org/ThemeFormat>.)

Regards,
Colin
