Hi.
Please consider:
1. Most people who subscribe commons-dev have no right to do any operations
to dependabot prs.
We can not help merge them, nor decline them & close them. Means reading
such mails are a waste of time.
2. Most people who subscribe commons-dev actually do not really want to
read such e-mails.
3. Dependabot mails usually have low value. Only maintainers should have
some interest in watching them. And usually it will not break
anything.(Just, usually, in most cases).
4. Dependabot mails are flooding. They are too many.
5. Dependabot mails cause argues about them (this happened several times
this two weeks).

Well my idea is we create a new mailing list named "commons-dev-auto" or
"commons-dev-bot", who contains all the auto-email.

> I want the emails as bots should be treated as people in some sense.

But the reality is the bot is not people.
Besides, if there be such a people who make that much pr, will you promise
review every of those prs, and do not complain about him be flooding?
