Hey everyone,

dependabot does a good job at handling single artifacts, but it does a bad 
to no job handling modules of monorepos, see babel -cli, -core, -env, etc. 
for example.

This typically leads me to moving several submodule dependency update PRs 
into a single PR, before reviewing, considering updating one part of a 
dependency without the other often doesn't work out well.
See #6878 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6878> and #6879 
<https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6879> landing in #6877 
<https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6877> for such a case.
This is just one example, there are more dependencies that fall into this 
category.

I create a PoC of using renovate over dependabot on core available 
on https://github.com/NotMyFault/jenkins-renovate-poc
renovate is very well able to create these kinds of "merged" PRs for 
submodules of a dependency, see #4 
<https://github.com/NotMyFault/jenkins-renovate-poc/pull/4> for example.

For the reasons outlined above, I'd like to see renovate to handle 
dependency updates in core in the future.

Kind regards
Alex
