Description
When a new python version is released we currently have the checklist in https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/python-copier-template/blob/main/.github/workflows/new_python.yml. Many of these steps could be done automatically by renovate e.g. something like:
```
{
"regexManagers": [
{
"fileMatch": ["^\\.github/workflows/.*\\.ya?ml$"],
"matchStrings": [
"python-version:\\s*\
\[(?[^\\]
]+)\\]
"
],
"datasourceTemplate": "python",
"depNameTemplate": "python",
"versioningTemplate": "pep440"
}
]
}
```
in the `renovate.json` should update the versions under test.
There are probably differing opinions of how much of this we do automatically, semi-automatically or manually based on risk. My preference would be to split the move into two steps:
* Adding the new version as supported - e.g. adding it to the versions under test and to the `classifiers`. I would say if the tests pass then merge this w/o human input
* Deprecating the old one. I think this does need human intervention as it's risky and there may be valid reasons it's hard. However, we can probably still get renovate to make the PR for it.
## Acceptance Criteria
* We decide how much of the process should be automated
* The decision is written in https://diamondlightsource.github.io/python-copier-template/main/explanations/decisions/0022-spec-0.html
* We automate the agreed upon steps (or make a new issue if hard)
