Can't you use the bot API for that?
Nice, but who should we blame when the bot starts putting (dragging) the Big Ben on Paris and the Eiffel Tower on Washington? ;-)
Whatever IP actually did the action. It should be possible to add the bot's IP to the trusted XFF list so the IP that makes the edit isn't the bot, it's the real IP. Of course you'll need policy framework, etc., etc.
You also have such a thing as reversion.
