OK, I found if I use "mysqldump --default-character-set=latin1"
I can read all that can be read in the dump.
The only difference from plain mysqldump is
-/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */;
+/*!40101 SET NAMES latin1 */;
But that doesn't seem to affect restores from the SQL file. I'm sold.

Yes, but whilst StatusBot and the proposed bot would have comparable edit
statistics, the latter would have more of a reason for running than 'to
update people's statuses'. It's not just about actions, it's about the
justification for those actions.

What about replag? The bot would puke every time that replication stops.

In case you didn't see the whole StatusBot fiasco on enwiki, I used
to run a bot as a replacement to a replacement of [[User:StatusBot]].
The bot made 50k edis in a few months, and was soon shut down by
Brion. A bot the edits the sandbox every few minutes would no way be
approved.

Sysadmins do not check Bugzilla constantly. They do check IRC
constantly if you say their names in the right channel.

I’ve just put in Wikimedia’s org application for Google Summer of Code

Possibly, but i would bump it up to like every two hours. Plus since
the MySQL is spread between multipul systems you would have make sure
it checks the same one all the time.

Out of curiousity, when a technical problem shuts down all editing on
a major wiki (as this did) are there any automated alerts? Is it
likely to be noticed and addressed even if no one rushes to IRC?
I guess I am curious what is the normal delay between problem onset
and problem recognition?

Not everyone knows how to use IRC, i would recommend that you
recommend people report to bugzilla with urgent tags instead.

because accounts have to be approved by WM-DE, and WM-DE has designated this
person to approve accounts on their behalf.
