Steps to reproduce:
I created a table that uses several <tbody> with respective <th scope="rowgroup"> elements.
Actual results:
The grouping of rows is not at all exposed to the accessibility tree, the role rowgroup is nowhere to be found.

Expected results:
The grouped rows should be perceivable when using a screen reader, ultimately also their title.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Disability Access APIs' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Other browsers currently behave the same way. There's an open spec issue as to whether the rowgroup role mapping for tbody/thead/tfoot is actually useful.
scope="rowgroup" is not currently supported in Firefox. I suspect the same is true in other browsers, but I'm not sure. We would likely need the rowgroup element in the tree in order to support it.
