dependabot supports grouping commits into fewer, targeted pull requests.
A recent example in the repository of this blog:
diff
% git show
commit 1fa93bed4d0faa9dfcdd6e554201d708baa38dbb (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Thiago Perrotta <{email redacted}>
Date: Wed May 14 15:08:23 2025 +0200
group dependabot updates
diff --git .github/dependabot.yml .github/dependabot.yml
index d6ca206c..3a5d1b09 100644

This is better for my workflow because then I will have less pull requests to deal with at once, instead of having to review them one by one for each individual github action or git submodule bump.
