I agree it would be neat to be able to use twitter/identica for actual humans to post stuff, but I don't think these need to be mutually exclusive goals. Would it be silly to have separate accounts? One specifically for bot logging and one specifically for actual human communication?
Not silly at all. As a matter of fact, while you were writing that, I was registering @wikitechlog on both services, which I think is a better alternative for automated notifications.
So, unless there are serious concerns, we'll be switching the automated notifications to @wikitechlog, and we'll repurpose @wikimediatech for the human stuff.
Sounds fine to me.
For reference, then, these are the current Twitter & Identi.ca accounts that I know of that concern Wikimedia technology.
