🚀 Feature: Consider having Renovate only update major and minor versions, not patch versions #1541

Overview

I'm sick and tired of getting so many Dependabot/Renovate PRs. In this package alone it's over a dozen a week [example dependencies search: first week of May 2024]. And across a few dozen repositories... I had to make https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/prune-github-notifications just to have a usable GitHub inbox.

One potential way to trim down on these updates could be to no longer take in patch updates automatically. The default could be to take in only major and minor versions.
