Not sure when we were planning to drop Python 3.6 support? NEP 29 suggested to do that last year, and there are no bug fix releases for 3.6 since 2018. Ubuntu 2020 LTS has Python 3.8.

numpy, scipy and pandas have already made a Python 3.7+ release, so it's probably time for us as well, and 1.0 could be a good occasion to do so.

This would simplify CI/ maintenance work a bit.

Ok for dropping 3.6 as well.

Another point: google colab is now running 3.7.10 since a few months.

As mentioned by @cmarmo in #20069 (comment) this would also imply that we would need to update minimal numpy, and scipy to versions that support Python 3.7 wheels (1.14.5 and 1.1.0 respectively).
