My guess is the GWT team is fairly small, and not many people are
screaming for full ARIA support.

If this was a critical feature to me, I'd probably start by reviewing
the open issues for ARIA or ACCESSIBILITY:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/list?q=ARIA
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4756

...then vote for the ones you care about, enter new bug reports for
problems you've noticed that don't seem to be covered already, and (if
you're in a position to work on this), consider fixing issues that
concern you and submitting them to the GWT team.
