Looking at 47294.2.diff​, why is the number passed to _n() is 14 if the number passed to printf() is 33?

Because I copied from a previous minor release's patch to keep the same format and wasn't paying close enough attention 😑 Thanks for catching that.

This part sanitize_title( '5.2.1' ) in the latest patch - it seems unnecessary to sanitize a fixed string '5.2.1'

[earnjam]

Final bug fix count is actually going to be 32, instead of 33. Just waiting on #46937 to be committed for final total.

@birgire This replaces the .s with -, which is needed to link to the HelpHub correctly.

Also, to clarify the math behind that number (this always seems to get asked somewhere):

• There will be 26 closed bugs in 5.2.1.
• 7 bugs fixed in Gutenberg and were merged when the packages were bumped in #47284. But, 1 of those bugs was also reported in Trac (#47180), so 6.

Brings us to 32.

Probably not needed, but was done that way with the last major security backport release a few months ago, so it's that away across a bunch of branches.

I think the intention is probably to make it easier to read and identify it as the actual version number, and then let sanitize_title() handle converting it to be used in the URL.
