Description of issue

Hi Maintainers,

I just wanted to know if you guys have any workflow currently that determines whether or not we(https://github.com/turbot/steampipe) have a new release ready, and whether you need to update the formula(https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/steampipe.rb).

The reason for this question is, I was wondering if we could add the bump-brew step to our publish release workflow. If we do add it to our release process, it could create a conflict(or failure in our workflow), if a PR already exists from any of the maintainers(you guys are very quick to raise the PRs ⚡️).

So, should we go ahead and create a step in our workflow to raise PRs ourselves? If yes, then you guys might need to stop creating the PRs(to avoid conflict). Or would you want us to leave this whole process to you guys(since you are the experts here)?

We are good with either of the above options.

Thanks

There are two GitHub actions that do this and both will check open pull requests first to check if a new one is needed. In terms of our system to determine updates, we mostly depend on users of Homebrew to send us pull requests.
