On Android in Talkbalk (screenreader) it is not possible to select a suggestion from the list

Tested this on a Android phone width Talkback 14.1 (currently the latest) on Chrome . I can type something in the input field, but if I want to select something from the suggestions it selects the whole UL listbox, and it is not possible to select one item. Turns out the the LI items in the suggestion list must be put in the tab sequence. If you add the following in the _ITEM function in awesomplete.js, below line 381, it works fine: "tabindex": "0",

Although Awesomplete works great, the whole project could use a bit of LOVE.

95% of the issues can be closed with the remark: 'functions as designed' or 'closed due to 2 years of inactivity' or 'won't fix' or 'workaround can be made with a little bit of effort'. Currently the project looks abandoned.
The listLabel text can be configured, but the other a11y text (status.textContent) not. This would be useful if you want tot use Awesomplete in a different language with a screenreader. Not every blind person understands English, if you pardon my French :-)
And a minor bug: in the destroy function, the attribute 'aria-autocomplete' is removed (line 227), but this attribute is never set by Awesomplete. Looks like it is missing around line 22. And shouldn't the other attributes (aria-owns for example) be removed in the destroy function as well?

TIA,

  Nico
