As previously suggested in #5981:

I'd also like to suggest maybe creating a GH Actions workflow which automates keeping Requests up to date by:

0. Running as a weekly cron job.
1. Checking the latest released version via the GH API.
2. If it doesn't match the version in utils/install-requests.sh, update the version nr in the script.
3. Run the script.
4. Commit the changes and create a pull request for the update.

The pull request can still be (manually) tweaked if needed and/or rejected, but at least it takes the "we need to remember to do this" out of the equation.
