The underlying Mammoth Python code does much of the heavy lifting for this plugin. I've merely created a Sigil plugin "wrapper" around it. I've made a few tweaks to the Mammoth codebase, but I hesitate to get my version of it too out of sync with the original. It makes it too hard to update to newer versions of Mammoth as they come out.
I'll certainly look into it, but it depends on how much rewiring of someone else's code I would need to do (and how hard it would make the upgrade process). It may actually be simpler to create a new plugin that would add empty alt attributes to img tags without any. Or if Kevin's Accessibility Helper plugin can be used to fix the tags, that would work too.
You could also try reporting this upstream at
Mammoth. Perhaps he'd be willing to modify his code to add an empty alt attribute to img tags generated from images without alt-text/descriptions. That would be the least complicated way for the change to make it into this plugin
