That may work for a handful of projects. It'd be my full time job if I did it for everything I run. Also, I might simply suggest maintainers to adopt dependabot or an alternative before I spend time with manual changes. These things should be automated.
dependabot is a tool for repos, not to apply local changes
It doesn't. Manual as in a PR with upgrades that you're suggesting yourself, as opposed to running dependabot.
If I have to open a PR myself, that's very much a manual change.
exactly my point, I'd suggest automating that before I bothered with PRs that upgrade versions, as it's a waste of time.
