Very low hanging fruit, but perhaps too little benefit or maybe just an investment in the future.

There seems to be no commented out code in poetry (or eradicate can't find it).

eradicate only finds 5 false positives in this comment:

src/poetry/puzzle/provider.py:540:1: E800 Found commented out code
src/poetry/puzzle/provider.py:541:1: E800 Found commented out code
src/poetry/puzzle/provider.py:544:1: E800 Found commented out code
src/poetry/puzzle/provider.py:550:1: E800 Found commented out code
src/poetry/puzzle/provider.py:551:1: E800 Found commented out code

When extending the whitelist, you have to ask yourself how specific or general you want the regex to be.

It seems like it could be useful to aid code review and/or help prevent new contributors from having more things to fix on a PR. That being said, I haven't seen a lot of commented out code during review. Thoughts, @finswimmer and @abn?

it may be worth exploring other options for finding dead code, such as vulture or dead (both of which seem to find unused code here but also false positives)
