According to the dox you add {{Rotate|90}}, {{Rotate|180}} or {{Rotate|270}} into the image page. The values being the number of degrees clockwise to rotate.
The template puts the image into a category and the bot picks it up and processes it from there.

Cool!
How does it know how much to rotate by?

I don't know that a BOT to crop stuff would be ideal, but we certainly
getting closer to the point that people expect basic image editing
abilities from directly within MediaWiki.
It was discussed a while ago on wikitech-l (I think) about integrating
Picnik with MediaWiki. The general conclusion there was that tying in
with proprietary solutions is not the way to go, but strangely that
didn't quite motivate anyone enough to finish writing their own...
