Dependabot opened a pull request per dependency and per directory: #256, #257 and #258 this month, all three for the PHP tools. Each language now gets one pull request a month at most:

  • PHP tools: tools/php-cs-fixer and tools/phpstan are two Composer projects, which a group can't join, as Dependabot opens a pull request per directory. They share a multi-ecosystem group instead, which updates both in one pull request (like activeadmin does for its Gemfiles).
  • GitHub Actions and the Python packages of the site each have a group.
  • A cooldown of 7 days: a release is proposed once it is a week old.

Security updates don't wait for the schedule nor the cooldown. They are grouped for GitHub Actions and Python, like in jolicode/docker-starter.

Security updates still come as soon as they are published, grouped for
GitHub Actions and Python, like in jolicode/docker-starter.
