[theme-reviewers] Help to Review in Child Theme - Accessibility Ready Theme

[Joe Dolson]

This has been on interesting conversation in the accessibility team, and
we're pretty well split. Since it's an issue that's never yet come up, it's
hard to apply any real world perspective on it, as well.

>From the a11y team's perspective, being able to submit a child theme that
implements accessibility is not the best way to get accessibility into a
theme; but is sometimes the only way, when the primary developer isn't open
to the suggestion. One member suggested that anybody wanting to submit a
child theme that would do this would have to demonstrate that they'd
already made an attempt to provide a11y fixes to the parent theme; but I'm
not sure how that would work, practically speaking.

Do we need to make a decision on this right now, given that it hasn't come
up yet?

Best,
Joe
