rules_python 1.5.0 upgraded its internal setuputils to 78.1.1 which has a minimum supported Python version of 3.9. Using this version with Python 3.8 leads to errors (see below) although for some reason, I only see them on Linux builds, not Mac.

Since Python 3.8 is EOL, document that Python 3.8 will no longer work due to this setuptools version.

Fixes #3050

Is it enough to add it to the 1.5.0 section given that it was already released? Can the release notes be edited?

yes, it's fine to add something retroactively. They won't show up in the published 1.5 docs unless we backport it to that branch and rebuild the docs. I'm not sure if that requires tagging (and thus a new release), though. So we'll probably just leave the 1.5 docs published as-is
