The people aren't so much the issue.

To deal with dependency churn, CVEs etc people have started setting up automatons to generate PRs. Those can generate a ton of them with minimal information about their real impact(unlike human PRs) and so going through them is not only a lot of work but the volume can be much greater. I'm certain people will begin adding LLM based automatons soon too.

Because of that I think the next big deal will be creating a separate class of changesets for machine suggested changes.

That's helpful context, thanks!

That's a super interesting take. The obvious thing is that the surface area of automation has improved and you can build a lot of tools to help with that, but you also need tooling to help deal with that overload of new automation - especially if your bandwidth is limited.
