We have some bot information from wikistats herehttp://stats.wikimedia.org/#bots. I don't think it's particularly actionable for what you are doing, but it might be interesting directionally.

We've been working on tracking down the top 25 articles for each week,
but
as you can see

it requires determining which rankings are due to actual human views and which are due to bots, and recently, the bots have been having a field
day.
I've been asked by the creator of the list to ask you for help and/or
advice
on how to use analytics to separate human from non-human views. Please
let
me know if there's anything that can be done.
I think at this point that would either require a change to the format of the domas (anonymized) stats or an NDA and maybe some other approvals. (or kraken! but rumor is that's not yet ready for the general public)
