1) What is the preferable shebang? What I have seen are:
- #!/usr/bin/python (such as scripts/add_text.py)
- #!/usr/bin/env python (such as scripts/archivebot.py)
- no shebang (such as scripts/catall.py)

2) Why some scripts (such as blockpageschecker.py) are executable , while the others (such as archivebot.py) are not?

3) Why don't we always use async=True with all scripts? I admit that I don't know whether async has a negative impact, so I asked it here. Anyway, I think that we can add async=True to touch.py, for example, without causing any problem.

4) Which one is preferable between "summary" and "reason"? I think this topic was previously discussed before, but I can't remember the final resolution.

/^ *def [^)]*?(reason|summary)/
