Summary: Mailman CGI Web Pages Inaccessible

Initial Comment:
The web pages generated by the Mailman GUI and CGI 
modules do not conform to accessibility standards in 
any way, shape, or form, and are almost entirely 
useless from the point of view of a blind or visually 
impaired user.  

The primary problem I have, is that the various radio 
buttons (for defer, accept, reject, etc.) are NOT 
assigned to their respective labels (using 
<label>/<input> matching), and thus screen readers 
have absolutely no way of figuring out what button 
goes with what label.  As such, it is impossible for 
someone (who isn't already intimately familiar with 
the user interface) to actually work with it.

Are there any plans to actually work on this at some 
point?  I'm in a bit of a pinch right now, and may try 
to hack some <label>'s into my own code, but....
