Ask for removal of aria-labels in contribution stats

I found a bug in the web UI where aria-labels were shadowing the inner text.

1. Go to someone's profile. Example: mine https://github.com/yncat
2. Look at the contribution stats markup
3. the collapsable buttons have aria-label="collapse" or "expand" respectively.
4. These aria-labels are prioritized by screen readers, which disables us to read inner text without special keystrokes.

   <summary role=​"button" data-target=​"details-toggle.summaryTarget" data-action=​"click:​details-toggle#toggle" data-aria-label-closed=​"Expand" data-aria-label-open=​"Collapse" aria-label=​"Collapse" aria-expanded=​"true" data-view-component=​"true" class=​"btn-link Link--muted no-underline lh-condensed width-full f4"> ​ </summary>

This markup shadows the inner summaryText.

Since collapsed / expanded status is already presented by aria-expanded, the outer aria-label is not necessary in my opinion.

Hello @yncat - thank you for providing this feedback! We have filed this with our Accessibility team so that it can be reviewed and will follow-up here with any additional questions or updates. Thanks again!

Hi @yncat - we recently made some accessibility updates to the contribution graph. Upon reviewing your issue again, the accessibility team noted that the summary output has changed to:

<summary role="button" data-target="details-toggle.summaryTarget" data-action="click:details-toggle#toggle" aria-expanded="true" data-view-component="true" class="btn-link Link--muted no-underline lh-condensed width-full f4">

In particular, the following attributes were removed to help improve the screen reader experience:
data-aria-label-closed="Expand" data-aria-label-open="Collapse" aria-label="Collapse"

When you have a chance, please re-test and let us know if your issue is resolved. Thanks!
