I couldn't find an existing issue tracking dropping support for Python 3.7 (which was EOL'd at the end of June).

To be clear, I have no "user" need for this, it's more about making the lives of maintainers easier.

FWIW, we will be dropping support in :dependabot: later this month (and going forward tentatively hope to start aligning to the upstream Python support lifecycle), so as part of that work I was auditing the Python package managers. pip-tools / poetry already dropped 3.7, so the overall packaging ecosystem is moving away from 3.7 pretty quickly.

@jeffwidman actually I have been thinking to not drop py 3.7 until we move off requirementslib, because we wanted to have a good path forward for python 3.7 and Depndabot being able to make use of the pipenv upgrade command. Plus this work fixes a number of other edge cases around how how handle extras: #5793

Its kind of some lessons learned from dropping 3.6 too soon; by ensuring we migrate the code base and fix any critical issues in a final release before saying good by to 3.7 will be helpful to folks trying to upgrade past 3.7
