The idea is that we'd merge updates in the "build-dependencies" group as-is, without a Jira issue. **We would still have to adjust/re-create other update PRs** (such as Jandex) to assign them a Jira issue. We could consider limiting the dependencies covered by dependabot, but I find that grouping, at least, allows a fairly manageable rate of dependabot PRs. Runtime dependency updates should be more rare anyway, as their number is limited and they're generally less active (e.g. Jakarta Persistence doesn't release a micro every week). The most important ones are the runtime ones, e.g. bytebuddy, so we could consider ignoring/limiting build dependency updates if necessary.

Opening this for discussion. I'm absolutely certain we'll want to fine-tune the configuration to avoid some automatic updates, so feel free to suggest whatever makes sense to you.
The most important dependencies to update are the runtime ones, e.g. bytebuddy, which we've failed to update consistently, resulting in delayed support for newer JDK. My hope is that dependabot will address that problem.

If we merged this PR right now, we would get something like this, to catch up with updates that we forgot to do:
