 # Guidelines
 To get approved and officially verified, you need to ensure you follow these guidelines:
-- Supporting Python 3.8 (and above).
+- Supporting Python 3.9 (and above).
 - No malicious intent.
 - The plugin cannot be a feature pending to be added into [Modmail](https://github.com/kyb3r/modmail/issues). You can submit a PR to add it to the core Modmail.
 - Core Modmail still needs to 100% function.
