I think there is a communication problem here. Correct me if I am wrong, but here's what I understand:
- Andre is the author of a bot framework.
- Other people use this framework to create bots of their own to use on
various wikis. 3. Andre is being asked to get bot status for these bots, which he is not running himself.
No, that's not the issue. It is about my own bot. And it's not about getting bot status, but about asking to get bot status. If I had been in some position to make it happen (like being a Steward), I would not mind having to use that. If someone else requests a bot flag for my bot, I happily give whatever information information is needed. But what's happening is that people come to me saying they think my bot should have a bot flag, so I should ask for it. If YOU think that my bot needs a bot flag, why don't YOU request it?
