Dependabot security alerts have terrible signal-to-noise ratio, especially for Go vulnerabilities. That hurts security!

Just turn it off and set up a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck, and the other running CI against the latest version of your dependencies.

Less work, less risk, better results!

Turn Dependabot Off

I recommend turning Dependabot off and replacing it with a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck, and the other running CI against the latest version of your dependencies.

@filippo
the `symbols` field in the OSV example you give looks like the biggest false-positive-reducing feature, so I'd love to see it used in other programming languages.

But couldn't find any mention of it in the OSV schema[1] and it doesn't seem like api.osv.dev propagates it[2].

Is this some golang-specific extension? Or something in the process of being added to the standard?
