In reviewing #3035331-14: Improve keyboard focus behaviour of vertical tabs in MediaLibraryWidget → , @rainbreaw had this to say:
My Media field allows for Audio, Image, and Video. When I use the space key on the Add Media button in the field on a clean form, it loads the modal, with the Audio tab selected.
The screen reader tells me which tab is selected, and the visuals clearly indicate which tab is focused.
Pressing the tab key gets me to the next vertical tab, and tells me which one it is ("link, Video") and so on.
The thing that I wish, however, is that once I get into the select media button, that it would tell me what type of media I'm selecting. I have to remember that I was on Audio first, and then tabbed through the image and video options without selecting them, if I want to be sure of what type of content I'm adding.
After a bit of discussion, we agreed to open a follow-up (i.e., this issue) for that last bit.
The checkboxes that select media items in the library should announce the type of media they are selecting to screen readers and other assistive tech.
Figure out the best way to do this, then make it happen.
TBD, but the media library will be a little clearer to assistive tech/screen readers.
None anticipated.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Based on @andrewmacpherson's comments in #4 📌 In the media library, announce the type of media being selected Postponed: needs info from 4 years ago I think the status for this issue should at least be changed to Postponed until Andrew's feedback is addressed.
