@trallard asked me to create an accessibility statement for the theme based on all the accessibility changes that have been done on this project in recent years. @smeragoel, @gabalafou, and @trallard all helped me get this document into shape; kudos to them! This PR:

  • Adds accessibility-statement.md with the common sections for accessibility statements filled out
  • Adds Accessibility Statement to the Contributor Guide/About the project section of the documentation

The contents of the statement and its location in the documentation would both benefit from review. Please let me know if you have questions or if there's anything you find missing. Thank you in advance! 🌻

Thanks @isabela-pf and @gabalafou for working on this. I made a couple of suggestions, lmk what you think.

- The PyData Sphinx Theme
- This documentation website, which uses the PyData Sphinx Theme

Other projects that use the PyData Sphinx Theme will inherit the theme's accessibility if they set up their projects with theme defaults, but other projects are ultimately outside this community's control.

Other projects that use the PyData Sphinx Theme will inherit the theme's accessibility if they set up their projects with theme defaults. Other projects are ultimately outside this community's control (for example, content/documentation creators are responsible for ensuring any customizations and content added are accessible).

I think adding a clarification of what we mean here and why is important
