Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

In scenarios where there is a large number of repos under the same organization, and they belong to different teams, maintaining the autodiscoverFilter option requires manual maintenance and is not scalable when new repos are created on a regular basis. Would be nice to have another option to leverage a combination of autodiscoverFilter and another filtering option by the owner team, in GitHub teams are given an Id and the GitHub API allows to query repos by that team ID.
