Creosote 4.0 heads-up

[fredrikaverpil]

What feature request would you like to suggest?

• Drop Python 3.8 support.
• Update type hinting for Python 3.9.
• Fix slew of basedpyright and typing warnings.
• Change release tagging to omit the v prefix or somehow make release-please workflow be able to accurately update .pre-commit-config.yaml.
• Hopefully get Python: add support for __about__.py googleapis/release-please#2433 considered, or potentially move to using __init__.py for storing the version (or just store the version in pyproject.toml).

Will the feature request break backwards compatibility?

Yes.
