This is now "ready for committer" for PG20 and would de-support RHEL 7.
Another unrelated data point is that making PL/Python thread-safe (at
least in the way I have worked out) would require Python 3.10.
(But RHEL provides a supported way to install newer Python versions, so
this doesn't necessarily have to mean de-supporting a given RHEL version
altogether. I don't have an opinion on that at this time.)
