I like this automation of version bumps but I'd really like to have it update the top-level dependant. In most cases the vulnerable packages are not the ones in the top level but x-levels deep. However, at the time the fixes are available through the bots, they are often fixed in the top level dependencies so ultimately I will update them anyway next time. Has anyone experience with configuring a bot to behave in this way?

Okay I just realized, that's actually exactly what Greenkeeper or david-dm do :-)
