At the very least, all pywikipedia bots on the toolserver will edit over IPv6 - and I think a lot of the non-pywikipedia bots also, unless they resolve IP addresses manually. Of course, they won't edit anonymously, so you'll only see it in the access logs.
Speaking of the toolserver, does anyone happen to know which IPv6 addresses belong to it? Just looking in DNS, it seems the named servers are currently in 2620:0:862:101::2:0/124, with some other toolserver.org addresses resolving in 2620:0:862:101::1:3/124 and 2620:0:862:101::3:0/124.
A little playing shows:

You will probably only view toolserver edits from the server marked with * (plus nightshade when it gets setup again) until the cluster grows. I have tested for those that the listed ips are indeed those viewed as source by the wikis.
