Research direction

Start by reproducing the multiline blurb case described in issue #453 with blurb-it and inspect how the generated Misc/NEWS.d/*.rst file is written. Verify that multiline blurbs use consistent line endings and that the resulting file no longer triggers the reported CI warning or failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

I just created a blurb with blurb-it and that failed CI: https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/runs/26935828932/job/79465266811?pr=150870

warning: in the working copy of 'Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2026-06-04-06-50-06.gh-issue-150898.1LkLA3.rst', CRLF will be replaced by LF the next time Git touches it

Maybe the tool should normalize line endings in multi-line blurbs.
