Bad kerning between left single quote mark and some capital letters

Font

NotoSerif-Regular.ttf'.

Where the font came from, and when

OS name and version

Kubuntu 18.04

Issue

The spacing between left single quote (U+2018) and some capital letters (e.g. T, I, W, V) looks too tight. Especially for T it looks even narrower due to the vertical serif. Some adding some positive kerning could be beneficial. Probably the same applies to double quotes, and right versions.

Screenshot

From FontForge's metrics window, with current kerning:

with tweaked kerning:

I think it's actually more noticeable at smaller sizes in e.g. an e-ink ebook reader.
