Comment (by azaozz):

 That would be nice to have. The problem is these aren't "real" images,
 they are backgrounds for <div> tags that have <a> tags inside. So `alt`
 tags cannot be added on them as they are not valid.

 Adding `title` attributes on the links would trigger the browsers to
 display "tooltips" on hover which look out of place there. Perhaps aria
 attributes can be used instead.
