Dependabot is the biggest source of PR spam for me as it's config is so simplistic, you can't easily make it group upgrades. So, when I see suddenly almost a hundred PRs created, I do the upgrade myself, push it, and then Dependabot closes the PR, but I love the hundreds of emails around this process, too.


You can now group PRs with Dependabot (https://github.blog/2023-08-24-a-faster-way-to-manage-versio...) although it's not quite as powerful as Renovate's functionality


As I said, it's not easy, and not everything is possible either. Monorepos are the biggest victim. I wrote a script that generates the Dependabot config and a GitHub action that updates it when my monorepo changes.
