4. Write a docs page with migration info on how to deal with the deprecation, and update it before the 1.23.0 release.
i think this will be extremely important. Just to give you the current POV of debian projects using numpy.distutils:
- https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=numpy.distutils+-package%3Anumpy&literal=0&perpkg=1 (there are 74 of them) - https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=from+numpy+import+.*distutils&literal=0 (only one "from numpy import distutils")
hope this could help you come up with a smooth deprecation process :)

Theano is the only real consumer of numpy.distutils BLAS/LAPACK support, which they should vendor if they don't want to switch build systems.
Note that Theano is no longer maintained as seen at the top of the README: https://github.com/Theano/Theano Forked development continues under the name Aesara: https://github.com/aesara-devs/aesara Not sure if Aesara differs in respect of using numpy.distutils but Theano is 2 years out of date in comparison. -- Oscar
