Consider allowing renovate to auto-merge PRs without approval
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer suggestion to configure renovate to auto-merge patch-update PRs when all tests pass and renovate is the sole author. Filed 873 days ago with zero comments, no labels, and no further activity.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is 873 days old with zero comments, no labels, and no assignee — it has never been triaged or prioritised despite being filed by a maintainer (lengau). It is a process-improvement suggestion rather than a bug, so it needs a maintainer decision on whether to implement the renovate auto-merge configuration or close it as deprioritised. Confidence is moderate because repository access was unavailable to verify whether renovate auto-merge has since been implemented in the CI workflows.
