That's unfortunate, and will hurt adoption with users who need it.  Are
there things that could be done to make it easier to add?

By way of comparison, Debian's installer accessibility is documented
here: https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.amd64/ch05s02.html .
Specifically section 5.2.4 "Software Speech Synthesis" reads:

    Support for software speech synthesis is available on all installer
    images which have the graphical installer, i.e. all netinst, CD and
    DVD images, and the netboot gtk variant. It can be activated by
    selecting it in the boot menu by typing s Enter. The textual version
    of the installer will then be automatically selected, and support
    for software speech synthesis will be automatically installed on the
    target system.

    If several sound cards are detected, you will be prompted to press
    Enter when you hear speech from the desired sound card.

    The first question (language) is spoken in english, and the
    remainder of installation is spoken in the selected language (if
    available in espeak).

    The default speech rate is quite slow. To make it faster, press
    CapsLock+6. To make it slower, press CapsLock+5. The default volume
    should be medium. To make it louder, press CapsLock+2. To make it
    quieter, press CapsLock+1. To get more details on the browsing
    shortcuts, see the Speakup guide. To just accept the default answer
    for a question, simply press Enter at the prompt. To provide an
    empty answer for a question, type ! at the prompt. To get back to
    the previous question, type < at the prompt.

Thanks,
