This bot allows anyone to post anything on Wikipedia (only phase III Wikipedias). The bot is under the GPL license so anyone can access to the source. It's a choice. Everyone should be able to know how this bot works and how Wikipedia works. Even if it allows script kiddies to attack Wikipedia's system.
What do you think about it ?
I think it would be nice if everyone who was planning to use a bot on Wikipedia made the source code (and configuration) available for public checking. Much better to spot potential problems (and improvements) before the bot runs.
