Screenreaders can't jump to comments or reports on MR overview tab

On the Overview tab of a merge request, a screenreader user has no way to skip directly to:

  • merge request reports
  • comments area
  • comment box

For example, in gitlab!70322 (merged):

Current problems

Nothing in the headline list

subheadings (screenshot from headingsMap Chrome plugin)

Nothing in the page regions

regions-outline

Click to display full page screenshot with regions outlined regions-full

Possible fixes

  1. Use screenreader-only class (can't remember: gl-sr-only or sr-only?) to add a H2 for each area we want users to be able to jump to.
  2. Add regions to each area we want users to jump to.
