code push shortly
We'll be beginning a code push in about 15-20 minutes. Please put up your seat backs and return your tray tables to the full and upright locked position. We'll update this entry when we're done!
(2:40AM EST: As always, the prep turns out to be more involved than we predicted. We'll hopefully be starting soon.)
3:10AM EST: And, we're done! Please report any issues here or to Support.

I usually pick a keyword that describes the general mood of the icon, and use the comments section to name the show and character(s), if applicable, and to give credit. I wouldn't want to put it all in one field, and I hope the comments section doesn't disappear altogether.
I'm one of those who haven't filled in the descriptions, because I have NO idea what to put there. Do I put the show's name? The character, or the actor's name? What would be a good description of the icon I'm using here, for instance?

The FAQ
As you can see, it's context dependent, and there is no one right answer. Web Accessibility in Mind has a great resource on alt text with an easy-to-understand section called "Context Is Everything".

F.e., I prefer the description "Sam from Life on Mars looking confused", but that can also be deduced from the keyword and comment. Wouldn't it then be better to literally describe what is in the icon and say "Man's face reflected in a windshield"?
If I do this at all I want to do it right :)

Speaking for myself, I prefer repetition to a lack of description. Taking from the random icon attached to this post, the information I've given it is:
Keywords: Lion King 2 Group
Comment: Made by
Description: Simba, Nala, Kiara, Kovu (Lion King 2) on Pride Rock looking out at their kingdom
There is some repetition, and on hover-over it comes out as "eien-herrison: Lion King 2 Group (Simba, Nala, Kiara, Kovu (Lion King 2) on Pride Rock looking out at their kingdom)", (taking out the comment field which will be removed next code-push) but I think/hope the description expands on the keywords instead of simply repeating them.
