Hi all,
I've been playing with dependabot as a tool to get automatic update PRs
when a project releases. First I've experimented on a separate codebase,
then used it on imageio-ext with good success, and finally on
GeoWebCache... why those two? Because they are small.

At first one receives quite a bit of PRs (I set the limit to at most 10 per
day) and most of them are easily actionable
<https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed>.
Others are larger upgrades that break API or
<https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pulls/dependabot%5Bbot%5D>come
with deprecation
<https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pulls/dependabot%5Bbot%5D>, and
will need some manual work. A small amount get confused by the too many
concurrent changes to pom and configuration and will need to be recreated
manually.

Here is the configuration file that I've been using
<https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml>
.

Now... I plan to land this on GeoTools as well. Since it's the central
management point for most dependencies, I expect to see quite a bit of
traffic and some further adjustments to the configuration. This
canon the done in the safety of a PR, the config needs to be committed for
dependabot to take action, so expect a bit of traffic.

I plan to do that in the next few days, if there are concerns please speak
up.

Regards,

Andrea Aime
