Comment (by joedolson):

 When you say "Some fields are not properly labeled with aria-label
 attributes" I'm not sure what you're expecting.

 An `aria-label` is not a necessary field for accessibility; it's an
 alternative method to provide a label if there's no option to add an HTML
 `label`. The default WordPress comment form makes use of properly
 associated `label` elements with a `for`/`id` relationship, and `aria-
 label` attributes are not needed. However, as @audrasjb mentions, themes
 can and frequently do override the standard markup, so you may be dealing
 with a non-default comment form.
