More recent versions of Python 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10 #978

Description

@joerivanruth

Description:
Please provide more recent versions of Python 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10.

3.8 3.9 3.10
Version installed as of 2024-12-04 3.8.10 3.9.13 3.10.11
Requested version at least 3.8.17 3.9.17 3.10.12

Justification:
In versions 3.8.17, 3.9.17 and 3.10.12, the function shutil.unpack_archive() gained an optional keyword argument filter=. For security reasons it is nowadays strongly recommended to set this explicitly. It would be very useful if scripts that use unpack_archive can just pass this parameter without having to check which Python version they are using.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
I would like to but I don't know how. Also, you wouldn't and shouldn't trust the Python binaries if I compiled them.
