Comment (by afercia):

 Looking back at this, I have a doubt about the `aria-label` on the main
 item link. Since we're inside a column with a header that says "Name",
 maybe the item should be announced by screen readers with just the item
 name. The current patch prepends the "Edit" action instead, see
 screenshot:

 On the other hand, omitting the "Edit" action and using just the name
 wouldn't make clear the link points to the edit screen. A bit tricky to
 solve, and it's related to almost all the list tables so before creating
 new tickets I'd like to hear the accessibility team opinion and feedback
 :)

 Worth noting this doesn't happen on the Plugins list table because the
 plugin names are not linked so the difference between the item name and
 the action links it's very clear.
