Research direction
Review the pinned commit and boostorg/python pull request 385 first, then follow the linked CPython 3.11 issues to understand the required fix and release path. Done means the relevant boost-python changes are incorporated into a released version that supports CPython 3.11.

Description
The submodule for boost-python is pinned to https://github.com/boostorg/python/tree/8dd151177374dbf0aa5cb86bd350cf1ad13e2160. As of writing that commit is 18 months old.
It looks like the submodule hasn't been bumped since boost 1.77.0.
There have been a number of commits to its default branch since that pinned commit. In particular, https://github.com/boostorg/python/pull/385 fixes boost-python being broken in cpython 3.11, which is blocking many users (https://github.com/boostorg/python/issues/400, https://github.com/boostorg/python/issues/388, https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/discussions/7178)
