   Correction to my comment above: I listed `maven-plugin-testing` as a default 
branch still on `v4` and "worth a look separately". That was wrong.
   
   That component has been merged into the Maven core repository, and its 
`master` is a tombstone — the README says so, and points at 
`maven-plugin-testing-3.x` as the branch still alive for Maven 3.x. Its 
`dependabot.yml` targeting only `maven-plugin-testing-3.x` is therefore correct 
and deliberate, not a misconfiguration, and `master` remaining on `@v4` is not 
something to fix. I opened apache/maven-plugin-testing#279 against it and have 
closed that as invalid.
   
   So the tail is smaller than I said:
   
   **Default branches** — the four with the missing `github-actions` ecosystem, 
all merged now. Nothing else.
   
   **Maintenance branches (11)** — unchanged, still the real remainder:
   
   ```
   maven-resolver-1.9.x                       maven-help-plugin-3.4.x
   wagon-3.x                                  jxr-3.4.x
   maven-dependency-plugin-3.7.x              maven-plugin-tools-3.14.x
   maven-invoker-plugin-3.7.x                 maven-pmd-plugin-3.24.x
   maven-javadoc-plugin-3.8.x                 
maven-project-info-reports-plugin-3.6.x
   surefire-3.4.x
   ```
   
   Worth noting the `maven-plugin-testing` case is a useful precedent for 
those: Dependabot maintains its 3.x branch through a `target-branch` entry, and 
that branch is fully on `@v5` as a result. So the mechanism works — the 
question for the other eleven is whether continuous action updates are wanted 
on maintenance lines, or whether a one-time bump is a better fit.
