Oh just saw it, but what kind of appinfo example could we do for PHP versions?

PHP 8.3
^^^^^^^
In this release support for PHP 8.3 was added. Follow the steps below to make your app compatible.
1. If ``appinfo/info.xml`` has a dependency specification for PHP, increase the ``max-version`` to 8.3.
.. code-block:: xml
<dependencies>
<php min-version="8.0" max-version="8.3" />
<nextcloud min-version="26" max-version="28" />
</dependencies>

Ah ok.
Not sure it makes sense for min-php? Because I can imagine this confuses devs to think they have to set it.
But its not needed - except you support a wide range of Nextcloud versions but not PHP versions.
E.g. Nextcloud 30-34 but not PHP 8.1 (which would be supported in 30).

It could be worded so that devs only touch if if they have that. But fair enough, we can leave this out
