[service] Request: Automatic update PRs #25171

What is your problem/feature request?

Hello, Conda forge automatically opens PRs to update recipes (or feedstocks) when a library is updated. For example: https://github.com/conda-forge/cpptrace-feedstock/pull/12. This makes things a lot easier for me as a library developer / maintainer. It would be cool if conan center index could do similar automation. Part of the reason this works with conda forge is that each feedstock has a list of maintainers, something like that might be needed if conan center ever were to do something similar.

I was thinking this when updating the frozen library recently. It feels like a fairly obvious thing to do particularly for sources hosted on Github so I suspect t it's already been thought of?
