Summary
This sets dependabot to check for updates weekly instead of daily.
The current setting of daily appears to be quite aggressive and I think that a weekly check will allow us time to work through the backlog of updates. It also appears that the
open-pull-requests-limit
option1 might apply to each individual directory as opposed to max items for a category. We might want to consider scaling this number down if we find that open PRs from dependabot are still too much.Checklist
