[theme-reviewers] Managing the Accessibility-Ready tag

[Joe Dolson]

Although clearly the workflow still needs working out, is there somebody
who can make the following change to the Theme Review guidelines on
Accessibility:

==============

Edit:

Submitted themes (or theme updates) that contain the tag
accessibility-ready will undergo an independent, accessibility review after
they have been approved for inclusion in the Theme Repository.

To:

Submitted themes (or theme updates) that contain the tag
accessibility-ready must undergo an accessibility review to check for
conformance with these guidelines. Themes can either choose to make changes
to meet the accessibility guidelines or remove the tag.

==============

It just needs to be clear that the accessibility review is part of the
theme review process, rather than a post-facto operation, so that themes
are not approved with the accessibility-ready tag without undergoing a
review.

Best,
Joe
