Snyk can alert on CVEs and it also can sent summary reports, but not sure if it 
works good with organizational repositories and for open source organisations.

But +1 for getting rid of those notifications.

Betreff: Re: can we get rid of dependabot?

+1, I agree that dependabot (rhymes with spamalot) should disabled entirely.

Unfortunately moving the notification emails to a separate list won't
stop the noise, unless committers ignore the PRs it creates.
In which case, there's really no point in having it.

What we need is notifications ONLY when a dependency has a security issue.

Otherwise the sensible time to check and update dependencies is just
before a release.

Please let's stop the flood of largely useless mails - over 50% of
commits, issues and notification emails are now caused directly or
indirectly by dependabot.

If it were a human sending even a few of these messages we would have
banned them long ago.

Sebb.
