extracting aria roles etc to reffy w3c/reffy#1905

pkra: jamesn filed this after the last meeting. Thank you.
… anything to do for us right now?

jamesn: I thought Daniel would do something.
… I tried a chatbot PR but that failed.

pkra: IIUC, we need to add data-attributes.

jamesn: yes, that's easier than simultaneously using them ourselves to reference our own exports.
… I think when I changed these it wasn't quite working. Partly, aria.js is running in post but would need to happen in pre so that respec fanciness comes through.
… I didn't notice anything breaking when moving aria.js.

pkra: right, I think it should.
… should we have a matching PR on our end?
… ah, we have w3c/aria#1897

jamesn: I'll take a look to get started.

removing terms.html w3c/aria#2585

jamesn: we can just delete it?

pkra: it's referenced in svg-aam.
… I see Daniel wanted to do it.

jamesn: maybe our new editor is interested?
… without time pressure.

pkra: I've assigned her and left a comment explaining.

the new email reminders for PR review

pkra: those are great.
… are they automated?

spectranaut_: partially.
… queried the board, grouped them, email template. I also wrote something for PR authors who need to respond to comments.

https://github.com/orgs/w3c/projects/204/views/1
… I asked Scott if it's ready.
… maybe Rahim can say?

rahim: I'll add myself as reviewer and merge if I don't see a problem.

spectranaut_: next w3c/aria#2214

jamesn: there is an unresolved comment from jcraig.

spectranaut_: right but also a commit that seems to address it.
… but maybe just a question for Scott.

rahim: I'll add it to our board.

<spectranaut_> w3c/aria#2581

spectranaut_: next up from giacomo
