Issue Description
Renovate was first added to the registry to support automatic PRs for stack image updates. This automation could potentially be used to other repos org devfile related orgs, like devfile-samples.
Devfile Organization Repos
We could add renovate on the repositories included in the devfile org. This way we can check the image tag used inside every dockerfile used & to keep up-to-date the github-actions used inside them.
Note, as a best practice we could adopt the example of https://github.com/arcalot/.github/blob/main/renovate-config.json to handle all repos organization wide.
Devfile Samples Org
Regarding all devfile samples we could add renovate checks to keep up-to-date the dockerfile images used inside those repos. This of course will introduce the need of tests inside each samples to ensure that all automatic changes of the renovate PRs are working with the samples.

One comment. The usage of organizational renovate configuration doesn't eliminate the need of tracking renovate.json file in every repo. It just makes it easier to apply org level configuration without duplicating the configuration per repos.

Oh my bad. thanks for the clarification @lmilbaum and for all the help in general! I've updated the description in order to avoid confusion

One other task that will be resulted from this effort is setting up a dedicated workflow for all repos in the organization. It can pick up all the repos dynamically including those which will be created in the future with no additional effort.
