Automated notification on when to bump minversion of required dependencies as per APE 18 #13930
Description
Would be nice to have automated notice to implement what was laid out in APE 18 so we do not suddenly realize we have to do it and then drop a few old numpy versions all at once.
tl;dr
Astropy core will support:
- All minor versions of Python released 42 months prior to a non-bugfix, and at minimum the two latest minor versions.
- All minor versions of numpy released in the 24 months prior to a non-bugfix, and at minimum the last three minor versions.
- Versions of other runtime dependencies released 24 months prior to a non-bugfix release.

"prior to a non-bugfix" does not make sense to me, so I am going to ignore it.

I think it means that this should be evaluated before we release a non bug fix release - I.e. we shouldn't bump min required version in bug fix releases of astropy.
