`automerge` label is not being added to PRs

dependabot.yml content

What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw I expected dependabot to open PR with automerge label, as per config Images of the diff or a link to the PR, issue or logs https://github.com/Maxim-Mazurok/google-api-typings-generator/pull/551 (had to add automerge label manually)

I imagine it's because it's a kinda "reserved" label. In which case, dependabot probably should warn/throw when it sees it in config?

Thanks for raising this. Agree we should either warn during config file validation or we should remove automerge from the reserved label list since we intentionally don't currently support automerge. If we could do the latter, than we could allow folks to use the GitHub actions workaround for automerging with a label like automerge. But I haven't poked at the code yet, so not sure what's possible...
