In addition, we would have a reliable list of bots running on each wiki, far better than what we have for example on english wiki now. In case some bot would be down for a longer time, people would easily find that out and some developer could overtake its task.

It would be first step to solve this: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34606
- it would make it easier for bot operators to keep track of status of
their services as well for community to find out why certain service is no longer available. For example if archiving bot crashes, the people would see why archiving doesn't work. Etc.

Hi Peter,
what is the final purpose of this suggestion? What kind of problem do we have that needs to be solved this way? I think the first step to do anything with bots should be to store the bot activity in tables other than recent changes so as to be able to mark them in page histories. This has been requested for years now.
