please be aware that that is a very partial view, in particular only
showing reverse dependencies with (meaningful) autopkgtests, which
means there could be hidden gigantic breakages not detected by that
page which will wreak havoc in unstable.

I would consider pytest a "core" python package, and so a complete
rdeps rebuild is appropriate, i suggest having a look at
https://salsa.debian.org/lucas/collab-qa-tools/-/blob/master/modes/numpy-exp
and then contacting Lucas to get access to the AWS rebuild machinery.

I thought you were volunteering for it? :) jokes aside, i think
preparing the new pytest upstream release for experimental may be the
"easiest" part of this ordeal.
