Template B: This PR does not modify behaviour or interface

E.g. the PR only touches documentation or tests, does refactorings, etc.

Include the following checklist in your PR:

  • Patches conform to the coding conventions.
  • Is this a PR that fixes CI? If so, it will need to be backported to older cabal release branches (ask maintainers for directions).

Dependabot currently creates separate PRs for each GitHub Actions update. This adds a groups configuration to batch all action updates into a single PR.

Changes:

  • Added groups section to .github/dependabot.yml for the github-actions ecosystem
  • Pattern * matches all actions, consolidating updates into one PR named "Bump the github-actions group with N updates"
  - package-ecosystem: "github-actions"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
    groups:
      github-actions:
        patterns:
          - "*"

yeah, this was new to me. @Mikolaj maybe? Your approval will save thousands of approvals for future dependabot PRs that won't happen because of the batching!
