[QUESTION] Move dependency handling to pyproject.toml

Ask your question here

The current setup of dependabot is not working. The pip ecosystem supports:

Dependabot supports updates to any .txt file.

In addition, Dependabot supports updates to pyproject.toml files if they follow the PEP 621 standard.

And neither of these are in place.

I propose we move dependency handling to pyproject.toml which would also be a step along the way of allowing a migration from pip towards uv for package management.
