Comment (by sabernhardt):

 #56389 proposes filters that site owners could use to change the markup
 (if they disagree with the decision here, either way).

 If you apply both that patch and the one on this ticket, you could try
 this:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'wp_required_field_indicator',
 'wptrac_add_aria_hidden_indicator', 10, 1 );
 function wptrac_add_aria_hidden_indicator( $indicator ) {
         $indicator = str_replace( '<span class="required">', '<span
 class="required" aria-hidden="true">', $indicator );
         return $indicator;
 }

 add_filter( 'wp_required_field_message', 'wptrac_add_aria_hidden_message',
 10, 1 );
 function wptrac_add_aria_hidden_message( $message ) {
         $message = str_replace( '<span class="required-field-message">',
 '<span class="required-field-message" aria-hidden="true">', $message );
         return $message;
 }
 }}}
