So you would have to go through each image and manually put in a description of the image in the list. The easiest way to do it is for the plugin to display each image and allow you to type in the description. The plugin would have to look through the HTML code to see what the order is of the images. I cannot say how easy such a plugin would be to write. It's not a case of make a list of the images and done.

Actually it is not a list of images but a list of illustrations to be pedantic. And the descriptor generation algorithm was already described above and the use of the title attribute on the parent div or figure can be used to handle any customization of the description.
FWIW, Sigil's Access-Aide plugin already generates a list of images with thumbnails and allows the user to edit/generate "alt" descriptors quite easily. So all that has long existed using Sigil plugins.
So running this loi generator on an accessible epub (ie. with proper alt values) is easily handled with running the Access-Aide plugin first.
And the results may still need to be edited, and that is okay.
