Problem

Dependabot's PRs are beginning to clutter git log, as it completes routine tasks faster than we humans write our own PRs. Here, you can see that more than half of the 30 most recent git commits were from dependabot's chores and fixes:

git log --oneline | head -n30 | egrep "(chore|fix)\(" | wc -l
16

Proposed Feature

If possible, it would be great to consolidate these multiple PRs into fewer, larger PRs that occur, perhaps, biweekly. I would like to discuss the viability of this idea.

It seems feasible, but not a feature from GH dependabot itself:
