waiting time. Because when we get request, we get them for 50 different
projects sometimes. And mind you, this is *really* a boring task to do
them one by one. Additionnaly, each project may have different rules for
granting bot flag, so if we are serious, we must check each project
rules. Not adding that sometimes, the bot creator fails to created the
user name in the project, which is a loss of time for us.
All in all, the bot request is frankly the ***more*** painful by far.
And granting bot access is likely not controversial.
Which is why I support giving bureaucrat the ability of doing this.
I am not in position to give any indication if is good or not to give
bureaucrat the ability of giving bot states, but if this is not done a
way to reduce the stewards job is to request that the bit request is
previously disscussed and approved locally (by the buroctrater, by a
group of admins or by the comunity). The request to the steward should
be have a link to the local discussion. (I perfectly know that if such
a rule were in action you would still recive a lot of request without
that, but this could be solved ... ahmmm ... just ignoring them as not
conforming to the rules).
In such a way local comunity (or the burocrates) would be able to
express thei opinion on the bot (conforming to local policy). The
stweards would be the only people tecnically able to change the bot
status flags on the database and he/she could still do any required
checks, but in this way these checks should be easier.
I am conscious that there will be the problem to decide if an apeal
would be possible in case of refuse from the local comunity, but this
is a thing that can be discussed.

This can reduce the job level, but even in this case I consider that
my above suggestion could be still useful.
Although, it would be pretty neat for a bureocrat or admin to be able
to grant rollback to trusted users.
Actually I do not understood why if an user is so trusted that
rollback right could be given why admin staus should not be given to
them.
