The problem
Orca (screen reader) doesn't read the description bellow an input when we navigate with tab in the form (so a blind people need to use the arrow navigation but it's not so easy to go on next field with this method...).
Solution
Define the aria-describedBy attribute on the input with descriptionId (see https://github.com/bootstrap-vue-next/bootstrap-vue-next/blob/fab80d15f1bac1c38a36611b50f9fe7b5587e00c/packages/bootstrap-vue-next/src/components/BFormGroup/BFormGroup.vue#L281 )
Status
Tested manually with ynh-dev
