My understanding when drafting the terms was that all projects, including
bots, have to be "related to a Wikimedia Project or to MediaWiki software
development or testing." So that's what I wrote :)

But I'll happily tweak the language. Are there other examples of
not-really-Wikimedia-or-Mediawiki projects that I should be aware of while
revising the section, to make sure they are covered?
