Description
In the long run, I would love to have a bot that makes automatic PRs whenever our vendored dependencies are updated. In the short run, I think we can be satisfied with the following setup:
- A script and/or
toxenvironment that we can run that does the update for us. - A weekly CI job - either not run during normal PR, or run as an "allowed failure" during normal PR - that runs the script and notifies us if it fails, so we can manually do the update.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing vendored dependencies, tox configuration, and CI configuration. Determine how the update can be run manually and how a weekly CI job can report failures without blocking normal pull requests; done means both the update workflow and scheduled failure notification are documented and working.
