Did you look at:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Reinheitsgebot ?
Yes, that's what I did first, but the page just says that the bot makes
mass edits on behalf of other (unknown) users. But you are right that
one should probably still ask the bot author first:
Magnus, do you know on which basis these edits were made and how the
errors could have sneaked in? Do you have any idea of the scale of the
problem? (So far I have no idea: maybe I was just very (un)lucky to find
several such cases in a row, or maybe the problem affects a relevant
portion of the >80,000 orphaned items in the UK ...).
