Changes (by joedolson):

 * keywords:  has-patch has-testing-info => has-patch has-testing-info close


Comment:

 The test in Lighthouse is incorrect; the `group` role is permitted on list
 items as long as the parent list does *not* have the `list` role. The
 parent node in this case is a `ul` with `role="menu"`, so it is correct.

 This is correct per [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/grouping-
 content.html#the-li-element the HTML ARIA specifications for `li`].

 Recommend closing.
