Description
This should be possible using something like: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/create-pull-request
We'd want this to run as a scheduled job (once every few hours is probably enough) and also be able to run it manually using workflow_dispatch.
It would "just" be a case of checking out master, running ./scripts/update-dependencies.sh and then creating a PR if there are any changes.

Research direction
Start with ./scripts/update-dependencies.sh and the create-pull-request GitHub Action referenced in the issue. Add a scheduled workflow with workflow_dispatch that checks out master, runs the dependency update script, and opens a pull request only when files change; verify both trigger modes and the no-change case.
