Comment (by sheldorofazeroth):
I've submitted a patch that handles the PHP side of this fix.
What the patch does:
Adds a new item_draft_saved label to WP_Post_Type::get_default_labels() in
class-wp-post-type.php with a default value of 'Draft saved.' for both
hierarchical and non-hierarchical post types.
Adds a contextual 'Pattern draft saved.' label for the wp_block post type
in post.php, consistent with how it already defines its own
item_published, item_updated, etc.
Updates the get_post_type_labels() docblock to document the new label.
Since the REST API post types controller already exposes the full
$post_type->labels object, the new label flows to the JavaScript side
automatically with no REST API changes needed.
What still needs to happen (Gutenberg side):
The wp-includes/js/dist/editor.js file is a compiled build artifact synced
from the Gutenberg monorepo and should not be edited directly. The
corresponding JS change — replacing the hardcoded __( 'Draft saved.' )
with postType2.labels.item_draft_saved inside
getNotificationArgumentsForSaveSuccess() in
packages/editor/src/store/utils/notice-builder.js — needs to be submitted
as a separate PR to the Gutenberg repository.
