How do I get my particular user agent unblocked?
It's not blocked. The error message you reported on IRC is only shown
when the User-Agent header is missing, a different error would be
shown if it were blocked.
It turns out that the relevant source code stored the user agent in a
global variable, but the "global" statement was missing from the
relevant functions, so it was effectively doing:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, null);
