Actually, on reflection, with the potential size of this, it is
probably worth collaborating on; I could certainly participate.

Sandro: you managed the numpy transition, it seems.  What is involved
in something like this?  I would imagine something like:

(1) Upload pytest 7.x to experimental

(2) Arrange with Lucas to test build all rdeps against the
experimental version of pytest (by which I mean: all packages which
require python3-pytest as a (recursive) build-dependency)

(3) File bugs (with patches where possible) against all packages which
either FTBFS with the experimental pytest or which fail their
autopkgtest suite with the experimental pytest.  Presumably these bugs
would have a usertag associated with them so they can be easily
monitored.

(4) After an appropriate time period, prepare NMUs for remaining bugs.

(5) Once all bugs are closed, upload to unstable.

I could certainly do (1) and help with (3)-(5) if someone else can do
(2) and help with (3)-(5).

Best wishes,

   Julian
