Yes, if possible, we'd like to backport the fix to Debian 10. Feel
free to ping the Debian GNOME or Debian Accessibility teams once this
bug has been fixed in GNOME.

I did fix some smaller accessibility issues in gnome-control-center.
1:3.30.2-3 which landed in Buster this week.

Here's a workaround for you mentioned on the GNOME bug:
You can navigate from the sidebar to the main content by pressing the
right arrow twice. To get back to the sidebar, you can start a search
with Ctrl+F, type something, then hit Esc to cancel the search. Now
you can use your up and down arrow keys to navigate the sidebar. It is
not possible to select search results with the keyboard.

Thanks,
