Comment (by afercia):

 So to recap:
 - the star rating was fixed in [36092]
 - the last updated date will hopefully be fixed as part of #35050

 Would be nice to find a way to fix the "5 stars, 4 stars, etc." links. It
 would be trivial to change the `title` attributes in `aria-label`
 attributes but that wouldn't solve all the issues here. For example, no
 indication is given that clicking on a link will bring users to the
 wordpress.org web site. The wording should be changed to make the link
 destination clear. Also, this information should also be visually clear.
 Worth reminding tablet, mobile, keyboard users won't see title attributes
 as well as screen reader users.

 I'd be inclined to add a short sentence visible in plain text. Suggestions
 and any thoughts more than welcome.
