Backlog : Drag and drop feature is not keyboard accessible.

Issue Summary

The drag and drop feature is not keyboard accessible.

Name of the Element:
SS-1 section
SS-2 section
SS-3 section
Etc

Location: Available in Backlog section of Projects.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the Jira dashboard page.
2. Navigate to the "Project" menu button in the header section & activate it.
3. Activate the "Scrum S/D" or any other available project.
4. In the left panel section of the "Scrum S/D", Navigate to the "Backlog" link and activate it.
5. Navigate to the "Backlog" dashboard in the main content area, where sprint links SS-1, SS-2, etc. are present.

Actual Results

In the "Backlog" dashboard section for the Sprints data, the Drag and Drop functionality (which is available on the whole div element ) to move the data related to Sprints such as SS-1, SS-2, etc. is not accessible for Keyboard alone and Screen reader users. The whole div element does not receive keyboard focus. Whereas this functionality is available with the mouse by Click + Hold on the div element and moving the data Up or Down. 

The whole data for a single sprint eg. SS-1 is coded into a div container element and then further concatenated. 

This makes keyboard-only users difficult to access the drag and drop reorderable elements for sprints in the Backlog section.

Expected Results

Following are the expected keyboard interactions.

• The "Reorder Sprints" div element should receive Keyboard as well as a Screen reader focus.
• The following could be a solution to implement this functionality 

1. Tab to move through the list of items
2. Space to select an item
3. Arrow keys to switch between the drop zone(s)
4. Enter to Drop

• An alternative element such as the Up-down arrow should be available to shift the table data up and down and should announce when data is shifted with a screen reader.
