I can't speak for the maintainers, but the Pylons Projects have been standardizing onto Github Actions so there is appeal. IIRC, support for projects has also been targeting 3.7+.
But as a personal preference, while I don't use this library myself, whenever I move a project onto GitHub actions I initially maintain support for 2.7 and 3.6 then drop those versions in a second commit. The reason is that many people still run 2.7/3.6 in production, so if a security fix is released for those versions the fix can be applied to a commit with a functional test environment. I find it much easier to just spend an extra 5-10 minutes setting up that environment in advance "just in case" while I'm already working on GitHub Actions, than spending 1-2 hours to suddenly re-familiarize myself with the CI environment/setup and trying to jam legacy Python support into it.
