I don't see a purpose for having cross project interwiki bot. So, bot
owners which take care about Wiktionaries will have a possibility to
ask for a "Wiktionary bot flag" at one place instead of asking for it
at ~150 places. Generally, I think that at least some of the global
rights should be per-project, not general. But, present situation is
such that it would be complex enough.

This email is a step before making a draft. So, the question here is:
Does anyone have a serious objection? After gathering such kind of
inputs, I'll make a draft which would be put at Meta (with an announce
here); which means, in a couple of days.
