Comment:

 Just to add to this ...

 I was in my 'screen reader mode' (text only mode, using JAWS) when I
 noticed this issue.

 I have just switched to standard visual mode and see that there is an
 image being applied to the link using CSS - which explains why someone at
 some point wanted the 'Powered by WordPress' title to appear when hovering
 over the element.

 However I don't believe this changes the suggested change.

 If the objective is to have the WordPress logo, linked to wordpress.org -
 I would consider including a link to the WordPress site in addition to the
 linked H1.

 e.g.

 {{{
 <a tabindex="-1" title="Powered by WordPress"
 href="https://wordpress.org/">Powered by WordPress</a>
 }}}

 And applying the logo to this link instead.

 This would however affect existing CSS customisations people have applied
 to their login pages by targeting

 {{{
 .login h1 a
 }}}

 As the new link wouldn't be contained by the H1 anymore.
