Comment:

 A quick screenshot with the last patch applied, tested in Firefox+NVDA:

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/bauaU1nZRC.png)]]

 As you can see there's a bit of redundancy. NVDA reads out:
 - the comments pending count (as part of the accessible name)
 - the new screen reader text (as part of the accessible name)
 - then it announces the element type (link)
 - finally reads out the title attribute (the accessible description)

 Ideally, the first pending count number should be hidden from assistive
 technologies using an `aria-hidden` attribute, one example of this is the
 comments "bubble" in the Posts list table.

 Additionally, the title attribute should be removed :) it would make
 perfectly sense to remove the title attribute in the same way it was done
 for the comments bubble in #32152  with the help of design and UI people.
