Comment (by juliemoynat):

 If the link label is confusing, here, it's a problem for everyone, not
 only people using a screen reader. Even if you read the link in its
 context, there is no information to know the link allows you to modify
 your profile (there's a heading "Leave a comment" before and then a
 "Logout" link in the same paragraph + the required fields text, that's
 all).

 It's a UX problem trying to be solved through accessibility spectrum.

 If the link label needs clarification, I think it should be for everyone
 (or no one).

 We could have {{{<a href="">Logged in as PSEUDO (Edit your profile)</a>}}}
 without aria-label. Same label for everyone.

 What do you think?
