Comment (by roytanck):

 While we should absolutely have a process for fixing mistakes like this,
 I'm not sure we should let owners edit the alt text after publication.

 They may not be aware of the mistake, since they also introduced it. Also,
 alt texts are often rewritten/expanded to be more descriptive for users
 with assistive technologies.

 If we do allow this, we should monitor and moderate these edits. Ideally,
 the new text should be proposed, not published immediately. There's a
 potential for spam and other unwanted things.
