I don't think we need to backport, considering it'll only ever use the configuration on the default branch. |

Four years ago, we configured Dependabot to only bump GitHub Actions for major versions, because we used
@majorversion like@v5rather than@major.minor.patchlike@v5.6.0, and@v5would float so we'd always be on the latestv5.x.x:Six months ago, we switched from
@majorto hash-pinned references, to improve security:However, we do want minor and patch fixes to come through when Dependabot updates. So let's remove these skips.
For example, this will allow mheap/github-action-required-labels to upgrade from v5.5.2 to v5.6.0 and clear the Node deprecation warnings (as seen in #158331).
