It looks like PyRun isn't compatible with anything newer than 3.5, so it seems like that isn't verifying that Tools/freeze still works.  Neither does it have tests that run in the test suite (nor on buildbots).

I don't know who maintains it, but it's been working fine up until Python 3.8,
which is the last version I ported PyRun to.

There have also been a couple of patches going into the freeze tool, so this is
still on the radar of at least some people other than me. It's also one of the
oldest tools we have in Python and dates back to the early days of Python. Guido
wrote the initial version.

I can try to port PyRun to 3.9 and 3.10 to see whether I run into any issues.
Would that help ?
