Normally, PRs/commits published using the default GitHub Actions CI/CD API token are not propagated to any integrations. This patch marks the plugin update PR as a draft and leaves a comment asking the maintainers to mark it as ready for review in order to actually trigger a CI run. This idea is found in GitHub's own repos: * github/codeql-action#2263 (comment) * https://github.com/github/codeql-action/blob/4ebadbc7/.github/workflows/update-dependencies.yml#L38-L41 * github/codeql-action#1868 * github/codeql-action#679
