Comment (by kimberlynachbur):
Based on all the activity in this ticket, it looks like we have two
issues:
1. Should we allow the user to set the alt text in the block settings,
rather than just in the media library?
2. What should the behavior be when there is no alt text set and no site
title to fall back on?
The second issue is [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63548 being
discussed here] in the issue that @Presskopp linked.
The first issue, which I think is probably what falls under the purview of
this ticket, is still an open question. Personally, I agree with
@circlecube 's assessment that, for a better user experience, allowing the
alt text to be edited from the block settings is the right direction to
pursue, especially since the image block's settings already set the
precedent that alt text can be set from multiple locations.
