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.
