Comment (by afercia):

 @joemcgill thanks for your feedback. I do appreciate your observations and
 fair criticism.

 I see in your reply you're mainly focusing on the technical side. I'd like
 to clarify my criticism isn't about technical solutions: it's definitely
 up to the Media team to identify the best path because of their expertise.
 My criticism is about the extended lack of activity on this ticket for a
 long time.

 It appears we have different views on what the role of component
 maintainers and ticket owners are. I'd expect component maintainers to do
 their best to timely address issues that are considered serious issues by
 other teams. Instead, ticket owners don't necessarily have to code a patch
 or be technical persons.

 Looking at the history of this ticket, following the chronological order
 of events, it's clear it didn't receive much attention. It was punted
 several times ''skipping at least 4 entire release cycles''.

 The ticket was milestoned again for new release cycles a few times only
 because the accessibility team took action after discussing the ticket in
 their weekly bug scrubs. And then it was regularly punted again because of
 lack of activity.

 The accessibility team is a small team: we don't have the resources to
 handle large amounts of tickets. We also lack technical expertise in some
 areas. That's the reason why we often ask for help and collaboration from
 other teams. Considering the history of this ticket, seeing it punted
 again ''a few days before 5.3 Beta 1'' because of lack of activity is,
 frankly, terribly disappointing.

 Today (September 23rd) at 15:00 UTC on the #accessibility Slack channel,
 the accessibility team would like to discuss where things stand in this
 release cycle and how the cross-team collaboration can be improved to be
 more effective. Everybody's welcome to join and share feedback.
