The primary purpose of me creating this topic was because there seems to be some sentiment that it's perfectly fine to exclusively use plaintext in the news entries. Especially in cases where authors have rejected suggestions to adding the Sphinx markup in their PRs. There seems to be some sentiment that it's perfectly fine to exclusively use plaintext in every news entry. Personally, I think it's a bit more nuanced, and that the links can sometimes be very helpful for readers.
Beyond what Ned said, (news markup is relatively new), people may be uncertain what is allowed and when appropriate. Also, there is some situation for me where markup seems to be a nuisance and looks like it is introducing an error. So I have changed unicode quotes and removed some rst markup. Also, for IDLE, news entries to idlelib/NEWS.txt. where markup, as opposed to unicode, is noise.
Bottom line: I would rather a knowledgeable editor prettify the blurbs in a consistent manner after I am done with them. To me, this is a place where specializations pays.
