Why could not be bureaucrat be allowed to give bots on their local
projects ? They are more likely to know the peoople as well as the rules.
This is a deliberate constraint put in place for reasons unknown to
me, I can't see why local bureaucrats can't be trusted with the full
Makesysop interface, which would allow them advanced control over user
rights such as granting/revoking any right on the wiki. I can't see
this becoming a problem, as it would cut down on the overhead of
getting a steward to grant bot rights and in case some bureaucrat goes
AWOL we can always quickly clean up the mess (which I don't see
happening in the first place since these are trusted individuals).
