  • Create .github/workflows/update-requests.yml workflow that:
    • Runs on a weekly schedule (every Monday at 03:00 UTC) and supports workflow_dispatch
    • Uses gh api (gh CLI) instead of curl to fetch the latest Requests release tag, with GH_TOKEN set for authentication
    • Compares it to the version in utils/install-requests.sh (with validation)
    • If different, updates the version in the script (with verification) and runs it
    • Creates a pull request with the changes using peter-evans/create-pull-request@v7
    • Concurrency group to prevent overlapping runs

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Automate Request updates</issue_title>
<issue_description>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:

  1. Running as a weekly cron job.
  2. Checking the latest released version via the GH API.
  3. If it doesn't match the version in utils/install-requests.sh, update the version nr in the script.
  4. Run the script.
  5. 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.</issue_description>
