package.json Update handling

Generally, I know there is no need to update and be always on the latest package updates. But I think it can only make things better to be update to date and get so the latest features of the packages. My question is how is the update handling in VS Code? Can I just make a PR and update these and they will be merged if the CI will succeed? If that's the case we could think about adding e.g. the greenkeeper app or renovateapp which automatically makes PRs to this repository with the latest updates of the packages. (Changelog of the packages included)

Here's an overview about the latest output of npm-check-updates to see the actual situation:
