I'm confused. Are you intending to backport new test infra to PG18?

Looking at the amount of python code that we currently have, I agree
with Tom: Making the few scripts that we have compatible with
Python3.6 seems the best solution for PG18. (especially since you
already have a patch that fixes the known issues).

Given the purpose and pretty small size of the scripts, I expect that
it'd be extremely rare for us to backport changes to them. e.g. I
doubt your oauth server would need many changes to keep working
correctly for the lifetime of PG18. Maybe it gets some minor fixes in
18.1 and/or 18.2 but other than that it seems really unlikely.
