Hi folks, as you know Druid has a lot of dependencies, and keeping up with
the latest versions of everything, whether it relates to fixing CVEs or
other improvements is a lot of manual work.

I suggest we enable Github's dependabot in our repository to keep our
dependencies up to date. The bot is also helpful in providing a short
commit log summary to understand changes.
This might yield a flurry of PRs initially, but we can configure it to
exclude libraries or version ranges that we know are unsafe for us to
upgrade to.

It looks like some other ASF repos have this enabled already (see
https://github.com/apache/commons-imaging/pull/126), so hopefully this only
requires filing an INFRA ticket.

Happy to take care of it if folks are on board.

Thanks!
Xavier
