Comment:

 Hi @thomask, thanks for opening this ticket.

 For URLs/email addresses, the text became a link which linked to the
 URL/created a `mailto:` link. It's quite common now to create a link on
 paste. This is done in Slack, GitHub and Edge (by default), to name just
 three that came to mind at the time of writing.

 In addition:
 - This is the same behaviour when pasting over selected text with the
 Classic Editor plugin active.
 - It's generally recommended not to use raw URLs, but to link descriptive
 text to a URL. For this reason, linking the selected text on paste is the
 more visually friendly and accessible approach for web pages.

 -----
 - Removing `needs-patch` and adding `2nd-opinion` to gather thoughts on
 this.
 - Removing `trunk`, as this has existed since before WordPress 6.2.
