The process I have is that I go over the stable tagged commits with a
week or two delay, and attempt to apply the commits that aren't in the
tree yet using the dependency bot.

I can look into how to tie this into Greg's FAILED emails; I used to do
the above manually and reply to those mails, but now the process is
slightly different and there's no direct connection between the two.
