Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 I think some of these strings are not new in 5.8 and should preferably be
 fixed in 5.9 rather than in 5.8.1, to minimize the number of non-urgent
 string changes in a minor release.

 IIRC, the consensus previously was to use “curly quotes” in user-facing
 strings for better typography. Developer notices and email subjects can
 probably continue using regular double quotes.
