Renovate noise

[jsalinaspolo]

Can we do something with the renovate bot noise? Otherwise, we are gonna get people unwatching the repository

maybe I should not have activated that just before the holidays :) But you are right. I'll go check

Bad news, notifications in github seem to based entirely on a pull principle, which seems to be user agnostic. However, you as a user can apparently block messages from individual users: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/119494/disable-notifications-from-github-bots.

The only thing I can really do on the repository is altering the webhooks, in particular to gitter. But again, those are user-agnostic. Also, I don't think that those are the notifications that were bothering you

I'll go check if I can configure the renovate bot in any way such that it produces less noise.

we also need automerges

automerges have been implemented for minor patches. Noise seems to have been reduced significantly
