ClueBots certainly are in the group:
mysql> select user_name from user_groups join user on user_id =
ug_user where ug_group = 'bot' and user_name like 'Clue%';
+-------------+
| user_name |
+-------------+
| ClueBot |
| ClueBot II |
| ClueBot III |
| ClueBot IV |
| ClueBot NG |
| ClueBot VI |
+-------------+
Also, according to WP:BOTPOL (which applies only to enwiki):
Historically, being flagged as a bot account was
distinct from the approval process; not all approved bots had that property. This stemmed
from the fact that all bot edits were hidden from recent changes, and that was not
universally desirable. Now that bot edits can be allowed to show up on recent changes,
this is no longer necessary.
So, if there actually are some bots that don't have the flag, a
bureaucrat could probably give it to the bot.

Not all bots are in the bot group though, IIRC ClueBot
isn't, and neither
are a few others.

All bots on a given wiki have a row in the user_groups table with
ug_group set to 'bot'. So, you can use that to get the list of all bot
accounts on a wiki.

Hallo!
I'm needing a list of all active Wikipedia bots in all language versions
in
order to judge how important the edits are which I read from the table
`revision' from databases like `dewiki_p'. I want to discriminate
bot-edits
from other minor edits by checking if the corresponding user name is
that of
a bot.
I could, of course, extract the names of all bots from HTML by parsing
the
page about `All Wikipedia bots'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:All_Wikipedia_bots
But very likely there's a much more convenient way, like an sql table
containing the bots.
(The list of bots running on the Wikimedia Toolserver
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_bots_running_on_the_Wikimed…
contains to few bots for my purposes.)
Best
Philipp
