Comment (by joedolson):

 The reason for not using a real `button` is the possibility that users are
 accustomed to being able to open this in a new window.

 The only question is whether anybody actually *does* that. There isn't
 really any sound reason for going to a new window to open the other
 uploader.

 I'm somewhat inclined to simply change this to a `button`, and see whether
 anybody complains about the change. If so, it would be easy enough to
 switch to using `role="button"`, instead.
