anyway to look for new tags/new releases? not sure if replicating head commit is a good practice - we might accidentally take in bad commits etc.

This doesn't seem to be supported by dependabot natively, although they are tracking it as an unresolved issue: dependabot/dependabot-core#1639

I think if we want to do any customization (eg do it on triggered basis, only track specific directories in the boto3/botocore dependencies, track specific release tags) then we will need to find another 3rd party bot/action or make our own action. E.g. https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/manager/git-submodules/ seems like a decent 3p alternative

yeah, action will offer more customizability. the part taking time would be to setup a bot account and let it create a PR, but there might be actions already automated this
