[New-bugs-announce] [issue32838] Fix Python versions in the table of magic numbers

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

All changes to the magic number in Lib/importlib/_bootstrap_external.py are attributed with 3.7a0. But they were made at different stages.

There is also inconsistency in specifying Python version for older changes. Some authors specify the first Python version after bumping the magic number (i.e. the version that was released with this magic number). Others specify the Python version after which the bumping was made. I think the former is correct.

The proposed PR fixes Python versions and adds issue numbers if known. I have tracked only changes in Python 3.x.
