CONTRIBUTING still asked for Python3.5+ and walked contributors through pyenv installs of 3.5.9/3.6.10/3.7.6/3.8.2, so anyone following it and running tox (the document's own pre-PR gate) had an interpreter for one of the six envs in the rewritten envlist. Ask for 3.8 through 3.13 instead. Use MAJOR.MINOR prefixes for pyenv install, which resolve to the latest patch in each line, and resolve the pyenv local arguments with pyenv latest so the instructions do not pin patch releases that go stale. Point the setup.py classifiers at the tox envlist, which is the matrix that actually exercises 3.8 through 3.13; the CI workflow runs only a subset.
