I remember reading some infra thread where projects were complaining a lot
about dependabot and the noise it produces. The last thing I remember is
that Apache decided to activate it on all repos of the org and without any
ways to disable it.

Some projects requested to move emails to a /dev/null more or less and some
of them have a bot to automatically close and delete PRs+branches.

Not too sure about the current status though.
