Pakaran made a comment on irc which really makes a lot of sense to me
Why could not be bureaucrat be allowed to give bots on their local projects ? They are more likely to know the peoople as well as the rules.
This is a deliberate constraint put in place for reasons unknown to me, I can't see why local bureaucrats can't be trusted with the full Makesysop interface, which would allow them advanced control over user rights such as granting/revoking any right on the wiki. I can't see this becoming a problem, as it would cut down on the overhead of getting a steward to grant bot rights and in case some bureaucrat goes AWOL we can always quickly clean up the mess (which I don't see happening in the first place since these are trusted individuals).
