Comment (by audrasjb):

 In [changeset:"59675" 59675]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59675"
 Themes: Remove title attributes from theme list tables.

 This changeset updates the old list tables for themes and theme
 installation to remove `title` attributes or replace them with a more
 acessible implementation:
 - Removes `title` attributes from `span` elements
 - Replaces `title` with `aria-label` for links whose visible text starts
 with the same word, consistently with links on the "Add Plugins" screen
 - Reuses the `$preview_title` variable to keep ARIA labels consistent for
 both Preview links

 Follow-up to [22439], [27548], [31513], [32991], [50804], [53414].

 Props karlgroves, sabernhardt, audrasjb, alh0319.
 Fixes #62834.
 See #24766.
