Then let's blame yours truly. I saw a PR to add Dependabot to Lang, I
merged it. I had seen similar PRs in the past that I had then ignored. No
more. Instead of watching PR after PR come in for each Commons component, I
just did it for components that already had GitHub builds. Ideally, I'll
add a few GitHub builds for some other components.

I'm also thinking of dropping Travis-CI builds in favor of GitHub builds,
less to maintain, even though it's not much, and no, I do not plan on
bothering with the new Jenkins system at  https://ci-builds.apache.org/ because
Jenkins has been a pain to deal with (for me) in the past. So we can
discuss that as well.
