Maintainer merge checklist

[x] Applied a Component: xxx label.
[ ] Applied the api-deprecation or api-break label.
[ ] Applied the release-highlight label to be highlighted in release notes.
[x] Added to the milestone version it was merged into.
[ ] Unittests are included in PR.
[ ] Properly documented, including versionadded, versionchanged as needed.

In past we left dependencies (both build-time and run-time) dependencies unpinned.

That led to CI/CD pipeline breakages (Like https://github.com/kivy/kivy/actions/runs/8765819880/job/24057222737) and users finding out something was not working as expected with newer (and untested) versions of a dependency.

By starting out with built-time dependencies, the idea is to migrate to pinned dependencies, and leave renovatebot (#8688) try out new versions and open PRs for us.
