Comment (by joedolson):

 It's true that aria-required is not required for required attributes, but
 for cross-browser and assistive technology support, it's better to have
 both, so that non-conforming browsers are covered.

 Warnings from validators are not errors; they're indicators that you're
 doing something that isn't strictly conformant with code, but needs to be
 addressed situationally based on external factors.

 This will certainly be addressed at some point in the future, but it
 should probably hold off for a while yet. The update cycle for screen
 reader users is generally very slow.
