Description
Hi, I tried reproducing some old issues like #6804, but the build info for that old Matplotlib version is incomplete. Even with the CI files, key details like the Linux version, min dependency list and dependency versions are missing. May I ask how you usually handle the requirements for building old repo versions to reproduce issues? Thank you.

Research direction
Review the CI files for the older Matplotlib version used to reproduce issue #6804, starting with the available build configuration. Identify the missing Linux version, minimum dependency list, and dependency versions, then document how those requirements should be determined for old repository versions.
