add accessibility section to "List of sections" pages?
I recently wrote the following note to debian-www@lists.debian.org:
> The Debian "List of sections" pages (eg, https://packages.debian.org/stable) have no section for accessibility. Please consider adding one, listing such packages as BRLTTY, Emacspeak, and Orca. If it helps, I'd be happy to help in assembling a starting point for the package list.
In response, I received the following suggestions from Paul Wise:

This seems quite plausible, looking at the file.

I assume that this list is the right place to start doing that.

Before I start filing bug reports, I'd like to find out if folks here are in favor of this idea and perhaps enlist some assistance in making it happen. Hence this note...
