Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

I would like to be able to specify that Renovate PRs be added to a github project board.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to able to specify one (or perhaps more) project boards to which all renovate PRs should be added, by modifying renovate.json, like this:

"projects": ['some project board name']

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, I have to manually add renovate PRs to a project board.

Investigate how Renovate implements existing configuration options like 'assignees' or 'labels' in the lib/config/ and lib/workers/ directories. Check the GitHub API documentation for adding pull requests to project boards (REST or GraphQL). Review the 8 comments on the issue for any additional constraints or suggested approaches.
