Research direction

Start by locating the Dependencies job in the repository’s GitHub Actions workflow files and reading the existing mikepenz/gradle-dependency-submission step. Replace it with the current gradle/actions/dependency-submission action, following that action’s usage in the workflow. Done when the Dependencies job uses the replacement and the workflow remains valid.

Description

code-maintenance
Describe the problem

The action mikepenz/gradle-dependency-submission used by the Dependencies job has been archived due to support for this functionality being added directly to gradle/gradle-build-action@v3.

That action has also been archived as the functionality has been merged into gradle/actions/dependency-submission@v6 instead.

The improvement you'd like to see

Replace the mikepenz/gradle-dependency-submission action with the most recent gradle/actions/dependency-submission action.

Expected Benefits

We won't be depending on an increasingly out-of-date action.
