I'm sure testing will uncover more.  But this is the list as currently
known.

Unfortunately we can't use an automated query to maintain this list
(yet).  That's because:

* we often disagree with module maintainers about the priority of bugs,
this list is from an accessibility perspective;

* bugzilla doesn't yet allow creating of arbitrary keywords that we
could use to tag bugs according to "accessibility priority".

We've also had some significant problems using bugzilla's query API, but
I'd like to think those are fixable.

We are moving to an automated scheme for the accessibility-centric
modules like at-spi, atk, gok, gnopernicus, etc.  so that at least we
only need to hand-triage the other gnome-core and gnome-desktop modules.
