Description

I ran into https://github.com/openedx/paragon/pull/3338#issuecomment-2539255363 when trying to get dependabot to recreate a PR the other day.

I want to make sure we don't accidentally tell dependabot to ignore versions by closing PRs. I also want to make sure dependabot is PRing to all the branches it needs to.
