[Numpy-discussion] Allowing Dependabot access to the numpy repo

[Juan Nunez-Iglesias]

I’m confused about why it needs write access to code... if I were doing this for scikit-image I would possibly clone the code to a new repo.

This is worthy since it unifies the different "pip install" commands across the different CI systems we use. Additionally, there are services that monitor the file and will issue a PR if any of those packages have a new release, so we can test out new versions of dependencies in a controlled fashion. Someone suggested Dependabot (thanks Ryan), which turns out to be run by a company bought by github itself.
