Like I said, it's highly unlikely anything actually malicious will occur since 
1. all the actions in use are official ones and 2. the actions are only used 
for CI and PR utility. The inspiration behind this is that it's a best practice 
for security and predictability.

When a Dependabot PR appears one can read the README and if desired can click 
in and see the diff between the previous tag/commit and new tag/commit. This 
change at least allows us a chance to actually see what's changing in the 
GitHub Actions dependencies we use. Without it the underlying dependencies are 
just changing (excluding major version bumps) whenever a new version is 
released without any review.
