Supported Versions of CKAN

[pdelboca]

CKAN has announced that they are in the process to release 2.10: https://ckan.org/blog/getting-ready-for-ckan-210

This release will include dropping support for 2.8. Also, support for Python 2.7 in extensions is gonna be dropped starting 2023.

Is the plan of this extension to continue providing support for 2.8 and Python 2.7?

I'm asking in the context of a migration of this extension to 2.10. Should a future PR keep supporting old versions or is it safe to drop it?

Just to say we are also interested in getting this extension working with CKAN 2.10.

Aside from enabling the activity plugin in the test.ini, the only other matter I had to address to get all tests passing was a PyJWT version conflict between this extension and CKAN core. CKAN core is requiring a newer version of the dependancy. With the newer CKAN core version installed the following line breaks in the tests:

ckanext-authz-service/ckanext/authz_service/tests/test_actions.py

Line 179 in bd4c80f

return jwt.decode(token, None, verify=False, algorithms=['none'])

This is because verify=False is a deprecated kwarg, in favour of the newer options={'verify_signature': False}, replacing one with the other gets the tests passing again.

Will you be releasing a CKAN 2.10 compatible version of this extenion in the near future? Would you welcome a PR for this?
