Hoi, There are several bots who work on almost all projects of a kind. Particularly on the smallest projects where there is no bureaucrat, it is not easy to get a bot status.

True.
When an account with more then existing 10 profiles and bot flags is allowed to be a SUL account, this would make vandalism and regular activity a lot more visible.
Seems fine as long as it doesn't mean to grant the account bot flag automatically. We recently saw it not always a good idea. (cf. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comments/-jkb- for further information: despites of its title, it was rather an issue of rejected bot flag and its operator).
