Comment:

 I use regex to match the valid and non-empty `#email-notes`. The regex
 information and testing can be found here:
 https://regex101.com/r/VPv2tw/8/.

 Is using regex overkill for this ticket?

 The simpler version should be check for the presence of `id="email-notes"`
 in the comment note, then the theme developers are responsible for keeping
 the comment note valid.

 Replying to [comment:5 joedolson]:
 > Need to check for ‘email-notes’ within the description string. If
 they’re not present, but the string is non-empty, add the id to the
 wrapper and print the aria-describedby attribute.
 I don't think we should add the wrapper if the string is non-empty,
 because the comment note can contain other information than email
 description.
