Hi - what is the status of these bugs about globbing in dash:  is
there a change in dash and a need to add to release-notes or not?

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1028002 against dash
asking for NEWS is still open,
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dash/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/dash.NEWS
is not updated since 2009
And the message above says the change might be reverted

So should https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034344
against asking to document in release-notes be closed?
