 The Theme Browser modal dialog uses some headings for the "Theme name",
 "By author", and for the "Update Available" notice. See screenshot below:

 While the headings hierarchy is formally correct (there are no skipped
 levels), headings should preferably be used to mark sections with some
 content.

 Specifically, I'm not sure the "By author" should be a heading in the
 first place and the update notice shouldn't be a sub-heading under the "By
 author" H3.

 I'd propose to change "By author" in a paragraph and bump up the update
 notice from H4 to H3.

 Please notice there's an ongoing discussion in the accessibility team
 about the first heading within modal dialogs. We're currently
 investigating if it should be a H1, but this issue would need its own
 separate ticket.
