Dependabot really doesn’t need to generate ANY emails. Every time it commits something to Github, including creating PRs, we already will get an email for that. So the dependabot emails are just annoying noise. That is why I configured my email server to discard them all last week.
Now, instead of getting hundreds of emails seemingly every day from Commons, Maven and Logging I am down to a manageable number. And the ones I now get are because a human did something that warrants human attention.
