I think about this a lot when I see maintainers who shrug off accessibility requests as "Well make a pull request! It's open source!"

The very people that are experts that you need contributions from aren't included or welcomed in this community.

Then, throw in the complicated mess that is "modern" javascript or just frontend development in general. You expect people to be experts at accessibility, to have the bandwidth to contribute, AND to navigate that landscape?
