Updates on the new workflow keyword on Trac
Since WordPress 5.8 is nearing release, this has lost a bit of momentum. After 5.8 is out, let’s circle back to this and get the new keyword added. The latest proposal is linked here. A poll will be created to decide the final keyword.

At this current time, there is no straight forward or easy way to check accessibility tickets on Meta Trac. Since there is no focus tracking on Meta Trac, this is not an option to add an accessibility focus. One proposal is a “needs-accessibility” workflow keyword. This would likely be the quickest and easiest to implement.
