datapoint: an internal code search turns up blender, multidict, and typed_ast as open source users of _Py_IDENTIFIER . Easy to clean up as PRs. There are a couple of internal uses as well, all of which are similarly easy to address and are only in code that is expected to need API cleanup tweaks between CPython versions.
typed_ast is mostly legacy, to be used for parsing Python code < Python 3.8. It's end of life is scheduled when Python 3.7 end of lifes in June 2023. I believe we can easily get away with just copying the _Py_IDENTIFIER macros over to its source code in typed_ast. - Sebastian
