Public bug reported:

When a form fails to submit (eg. an invalid login) or a request succeeds (eg. successfully deleting a page), a red or green alert is shown at the top of the page.
However, this is not always obvious to screen reader users, so it would be good to explicitly mark this as an alert, probably using role="alert" ( see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_alert_role )
