Thanks. Works great (I switched quite a few plugins to Renovate).

Note: After merging the PRs I needed to "manually" scan the repositories in 
order to get the "Dependency dashboard" (and ensuring it works)

This can be achieved via https://developer.mend.io/github/jenkinsci and 
choosing "Run Renovate Scan"
