I don't have a specific tool handy, but I'm guessing that we could cludge
something together through the implementation of tooling that effectively
builds venvs for each project and grabs a pip freeze from each of them.
That could at least give us a set of data to examine and work from?

We have something that kinda does this [2] although the purpose is quite
different. I would guess that we could either work out a way to make use of
this to achieve the goal through an automated process, or we could just
derive something useful from it. If this is deemed the best or only option
then I'd be happy to take this up.

If there's a better way then I'm all for it, but from what I see the pip
project has a long standing [1] issue for a resolver.
