Public bug reported:

For people using screen readers, having a label for every form input is essential as they have no other (easy) way of knowing what the input is for. Currently when editing permissions for a page, the labels next to the checkboxes to select which pages/collections to update don't use the <label> tag.
The essential problem here is that the <label> tag is used for headings on this page, so that style needs to be applied to some heading tag instead so that labels can be used for their semantic purpose.
