I'd agree with this (especially since references to the Spanish inquisition aren't going to be funny for folks that are still facing religious persecution). Having the bot name in the trigger phrase is a good way to avoid accidental activation, so something like "Bedevere: ready for review" would be good (and, as Donald notes, it's fine to keep the current phrase as a secondary trigger - it just shouldn't be the main documented one).
