Outdated docutils dependendancy

[sjfke]

Problem

GitHub dependabot demands docutils==0.21.2 but 'sphinx' and 'sphinx-rtd-theme' require outdated versions. Using docutils<=0.21.2 does not make dependabot happy.

Give details on your issue.

Can you update the docutils dependency to unravel this dependency issue?

Hi Guys, I appreciate it is Summer Vacation time and the Olympics are on, but could you please acknowledge. Who knows, you might be fixing upstream security issues by looking at this?

This is going to happen in 3.0, and it's tracked by https://github.com/readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme/pull/1576

[humitos]

We released a new version 3.0.0rc1 that adds support for latest docutils versions. Please, give it a try and open an issue for any problem or feedback you want to share with us.

The following works but also updated sphinx and a few others... FWIW: I am using PyCharm CE to determine what needs updating
