Require Renovate dashboard approval for major taggit updates

[HonkingGoose]

Background

Follow up from #1896 (comment).

https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#dependencydashboardapproval Would it be better to instead configure?

{
  "major": {
    "dependencyDashboardApproval": true
  }
}

Is there an instance of the "dependency dashboard" in one of our other repos that I can see as an example?

That setting would require manually triggering a PR for every major dependency update which may often not be an issue. As said above that would only hold back the taggit update because it was the only one to cause issues on a major release boundary.

Proposed Changes

Use packageRules to tell Renovate what to do for a specific package.

If you want Renovate to wait for approval before raising a major taggit update, put this in your renovate.json file:

{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "description": "Require dashboard approval for major updates for taggit",
      "matchPackageNames": ["taggit"],
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["major"],
      "dependencyDashboardApproval": true
    }
  ]
}

Reduce developer busy-work. 😄
