Comment:

 I'd agree, since it uses also `aria-required="true" required="required"`
 then for consistency should use an asterisk too. By the way the sentence
 "Required fields are marked *" appears only when users are logged out.
 When logged in there's just the textarea. I guess this is OK, I'd just
 like to discuss it a bit in the next accessibility weekly meeting.

 Worth noting `required` is a boolean attribute and doesn't need a value.
