Comment (by Otto42):

 Okay, let's take these menus one at a time.

 The main menu's markup:

 {{{
 <ul id="wporg-header-menu" class=" nav-menu">
 <li class="menu-item">...
 </ul>
 }}}

 So, wrap a `<nav aria-label="Main menu">` around this?

 Similar for other menus, obviously, but is there any other markup changes
 that would be needed?

 Converting it to a plain nav would require a more extensive change to the
 CSS (possibly on all subsites), but could be feasible.

 Would it be preferable to use a role=navigation on the ul instead, to
 minimize the CSS adjustments?
