      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open "View issue" page.
      2. Navigate to the "People" accordion present in main content area.
      3. Navigate to the "View watchers" link and activate it.

      Actual Results

      The form field "Add watchers" is coded using appropriate explicit association. However, aria-label "- Admin admin" provided to the <textarea> element which seems unnecessary. As a result, screen reader users might get confuse between the aria-label and explicit association.

      Expected Results

      Remove aria-label from the source code of the <textarea> element.

      Code Snippet

      <textarea autocomplete="off" role="combobox" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-expanded="false" id="watchers-textarea" class="text long-field" wrap="off"></textarea> 

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
