Not sure why I chose this, it likely doesn't need to be terribly highly-specified, but figured I'd namespace it at least.

Thanks for taking this on @nickhudkins, I'd like to lean on renovate for this. I'm also unsure about how the Core Backstage Maintainers will feel about this. I think getting renovate working is probably the sweet spot as you can update the TechDocs Docker image in config.

Initial attempt at dispatching workflow custom event on remote repositories:
Added a python script that uses
tomllibto read the contents ofpyproject.tomland publish an event (Call GitHub API) that we will consume to trigger a workflow (which will be used in the remote repositories) that handles updating whatever relevant dependencies we need to update.The known use case today is to update
Dockerfile(s) in the remote repositories listed.
