Well, there's one tiny issue: the full protection =). The bot may have to use a sandbox or something that an admin can copy over (unless this is going to be upgraded to a request for adminbot). –xeno^talk 14:06, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, good point :D. I'll create a separate bot account (to prevent the admin status interfering with other tasks) and also request admin status (and advertise at WT:RFA).
