Issue Summary
The aria-label has specified for combobox unnecessarily in the "View watchers" dialog.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open "View issue" page.
- Navigate to the "People" accordion present in main content area.
- Navigate to the "View watchers" link and activate it.
- Observe that dialog has appeared on the screen.
- Navigate to the "Add watchers" input.
- Inspect the code and check that aria-label is used unnecessarily.
Screenshot

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
