WordCamp Asia 2020 accessibility contributor table

Action plan for the Gutenberg focus research work
We need feedback on the observations gathered from the research and testing the accessibility team did on the various focus handling flows in Gutenberg blocks.
The team wants to validate these observations before moving on to creating issues on the Gutenberg repository on GitHub.
Focuses for 5.4 and 5.5
The team agreed to have additional bug scrubs to address tickets and issues for the 5.4 release. More information on when these bug scrubs will happen will be shared as soon as possible.
For 5.5, the team would like to work on a bigger project, such as the idea of developing accessible color schemes for wp-admin.
