on the proposed text below?

Should there be an acknowledgment that GNOME and GTK developers areworking on it?

I'm running Arch Linux, which just received GNOME 44.1. GNOME ControlCenter has definitely undergone accessibility-related improvementscompared with GNOME 43.

I suppose the realistic options for Debian users will be to choose analternative desktop environment, or (especially as time passes) toevaluate whether the version of GNOME in testing/unstable meets theirscreen reader access needs.
