In this case we have to possible solutions: 1. Somebody will write the necesary interface so that bureaurcats may add bot flags. My idea for this is that Meta MakeSysop interface may be transfered to bureaucrats with limited groups. (just Sysop, Bureaucrat and Bot flag - for now)
2. We shall have - as I already proposed in a discution at meta - a new election for stewards which can help the existent ones in their job. Most of them have many things to do and no time for this kind of issues and at least one of elected stewards in may is not and was not active. There are many unsolved requests at meta and persons must wait a lot of time for a steward to have time to answer to their request.
