Yup, it's because upstream cpython has this file:

https://github.com/gvanrossum/cpython/blob/master/.github/dependabot.yml

I still think this is a bug (or missing feature) in dependabot. Please +1 that issue!

Maybe a recent change in dependabot. This open ticket seems related https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/2804

I got this too on two forks of cpython. It smells like a dependabot mistake.

This morning I woke to find that dependabot had added two new branches
to my cpython fork
https://github.com/terryjreedy/cpython/branches
and had created corresponding PRs
https://github.com/terryjreedy/cpython/pull/3
https://github.com/terryjreedy/cpython/pull/4

Whether all forks or all committers or just me got these, it seems
wrong.  I suspect that I should just close the extraneous PRs and delete
the branches.

Dependabot also created the same branches and PRs directly on
python/cpython.
https://github.com/python/cpython/branches
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/23582
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/23583
Only these PRs got the proper labels.  Someone should merge these PRs
and delete the branches.

Also, it seems that dependabot should be reconfigured to not create
duplicate branches and PRs.
