Tried, but didn't find your original mail anymore, its actually at least
4 years ago...  So its a bit hard to answer your question, since I will
have to use my memory, which might be a little bit faulty.  But as
far as I remember, you didn't like the concept of ATK calls being
necessary to beef up accessibility.  If I remember correctly, you said
something like "this should be simpler or not necessary" or what not.
To be
honest, back then I thought you didn't understand the issue at hand.  But I was so
frustrated about your reaction that I totally dropped the idea of
working on inproving Ardours accessibility.  Its no fun if you have to
explain yourself over and over again.

The patch was doing something simple like associating a label with the
corresponding input field, such that the screen reader would actually
know the label for the particular input field... This is pretty normal
accessibility stuff, but on reject I totally lost motivation to fight
windmills.
