Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Several camelCase names in the threading module have been marked with DeprecationWarnings since 3.10. (they are replaced by snake_case names and in some cases with properties rather than getter/setter functions) However, they have never had a removal version set.
I propose to mark these for removal in 3.21 and will prepare a PR to do so.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the threading module's existing DeprecationWarnings and linked PR gh-154206. Confirm which camelCase names lack a removal version; done when the relevant deprecations consistently state removal in Python 3.21.
