We would also need it in for Python 3.6 and pypys.
Are RHEL 9 patches for Python 3 series relevant in this case?
Not at all. RHEL 9 is python3.9 and that runs on OpenSSL 3 in both RHEL 9 and
all supported Fedoras.

Please don't remove the devel package if you aim for deprecation. As other
have
said, removing the devel package is essentially retirement, not deprecation.
OK, it's not a problem to deprecate the package in the sense of
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/deprecating-packages/
<https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/deprecating-packages/>
But we still want to get rid of it.
Right. But it makes sense to say:
Fedora 37: openssl1.1 is deprecated
Fedora XY: openssl1.1 is retired
Now you are mixing the two kinda together in a weird way. The change is called
"deprecation" but is in fact "incomplete retirement".
See e.g.:
Deprecation: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecateNose
Retirement: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython3.7

OpenSSL 3 was introduced in Fedora 36, that has *just* been released this
year.
This is a change proposal for Fedora 37, that is half a year after, not 7
years :/
Well, speaking about 7 years, I mean the idea to support the compat package
synchronously with RHEL 8.
Now I understand what you mean but I still don't understand what is the biggest
trouble. You do maintain this in RHEL 8, don't you?
I'd like to retire this package not later than, well, a release after OpenSSL
1.1.1 EOL.
Is that happening on some known schedule or is it an event that will eventually
happen but we don't know when?
