I'll be happy to write a NEWS item, but for what? The change of bug #33205, or this change, which is not visible unless the other change is already applied (and it hasn't made it into a release yet)?

If you mean the #33205 fix, it might result in something like the following:

** `rx' now handles raw bytes in character alternatives correctly when
given in a string.  Previously, `(any "\x80-\xff")' would match characters
U+0080...U+00FF.  Now the expression matches raw bytes in the 128...255 range,
as expected.

Is that what you had in mind? If so, in what subsection would it go?

* Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages
* Incompatible Lisp Changes
* Lisp Changes
