New description:

 Headings give structure to webpages, showing the relative importance of
 each section of the content to screen reader and other assistive
 technology users.

 The majority of the BuddyPress screens only contain the `<h1>` heading
 with the title of the component as well as `<h2>`s  around member
 usernames and group admins for example, for the respective components. We
 will be adding headings for screen reader and AT users similar to how we
 added accessible headings to our BP admin screens e.g. List tables for
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6741 Activity],
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6742 Groups], and
 [https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6743 Pending Users].
