Automated PHP 8+ compatibility for all Drupal 7 projects

Great initiative! With that said, we've already moved forward significantly on contrib, see here:

Here's the list of modules I know of that are already PHP 8.2 compatible and Drupal 7 (Drupal classic) compatible:

views https://drupal.org/project/views
ctools https://drupal.org/project/ctools
i18n https://drupal.org/project/i18n
media https://drupal.org/project/media
file_entity https://drupal.org/project/file_entity
entity_translation https://drupal.org/project/entity_translation
entity_translation_unified_form https://drupal.org/project/entity_translation_unified_form
bootstrap https://drupal.org/project/bootstrap (works well but occationally some notices)
date https://drupal.org/project/date
pathauto https://drupal.org/project/pathauto
entityreference https://drupal.org/project/entityreference
entity api https://drupal.org/project/entity

and many many others are already Drupal classic (Drupal 7) and PHP 8.2 compatible.

Drupal 7's end of life is now January 5, 2025.

They say this time it's an immutable date, we'll see, maybe someone can twist Dries rubber arm on this.

Indeed. Drupal 7 still runs 48% of sites. It seems to me that it is premature to suggest ending support for it. It could be very harmful to the Drupal community. Support should end when it is more like 5%, particularly when you consider how much more difficult it is to upgrade from 7 compared to previous and later upgrades.

@Liam Morland, I think that the ever-changing EOL date resulted in a lack of urgency in upgrading, but now the firm date should see the number start trending down. At least, we have seen this is the case with a lot of potential clients approaching us for upgrades who had been waiting it out.

I think this can be closed since PHP 7 was EOL in 2022 and D7 is coming up to EOL in Jan.
