Comment:

 Thank you for the bug report, @omer-faruk-ekinci!

 While this report is valid, I'm going to close this ticket, for a few
 reasons:

 - This seems to only be an issue for the w3 validator, there are no
 reports of browsers or screen readers having issues with the lack of
 `<dd>` element.
 - This only affects the gallery shortcode in the classic editor (or
 classic block in the block editor). Both of these use cases are heading in
 to long term maintenance mode, during which minor bug fixes are unlikely
 to land.
 - It would require a non-trivial amount of time to test and ensure this
 change doesn't accidentally cause other issues.
