Hello!  I’ve seen your name on a few recent tickets, thanks for contributing and welcome here! 

In general, the CPython project doesn’t do esthetic code changes for their own sake.  Not all code is changed from %-formatting when format is added, not all code using format changes to f-string, and code that works is left alone.  Each change merged takes resources to run tests, build packages, update clones; it changes the history of the files touched (which is important when investigating a bug months or years later); it takes time to review (pre or post-commit); it has the opportunity of introducing bugs.  Therefore, in the absence of a bug to fix or a new feature that is made easier by prior changes, I think this should be closed as not a bug.
