The choice of importlib-metadata>=4.6 is based on the fact that the if statement above accepts stdlib's version for Python 3.10 and according to importlib_metadata's docs that is equivalent to version 4.6.

So if the codebase works with importlib.metadata in Python 3.10 it should also work with importlib_metadata 4.6. I am not sure why pyproject.toml requires importlib_metadata>=6...
