FYI, this was the state also in GNOME 2.X. Not sure why suddenly the 
feature will be complete when this issue gets solved.

Anyway, I agree that this is a really important feature.

Was done recently. FWIW, when I mentioned that on the weekly a11y 
meeting, I started to receive some personal messages (IRC+mail, yes, 
more than one), wondering if that means that GNOME didn't care about 
accessibility. Was hard to explain there wasn't any different on the 
plans to keep improving a11y, and that this change was just a 
coordination change. Some people felt that this change removed a lot of 
visibility of the accessibility work. I was also surprised that this 
change became so conflictive, although I agree about that this change 
makes accessibility a little less visible.

https://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/ThreePointTwo are properly updated, 
although with some missing key contacts, like this:

In relation with GNOME Shell, I sent a mail to the people involved, to 
at least know if there are specific plans towards 3.2.

I don't understand this paragraph. It is your opinion or what you 
extract from Joanmarie mail?
