Richard, I don't think we need a bot for this as the current tools seem quite adequate to me. If the missing streets are added this year then that would be great.
Building a community is ideal but I think outside the "successful" parts of the country we are not going to get a lot of people wanting to do ground surveys of whole towns. Mapping is a geeky activity and in large parts of the SW, Wales and the North there just aren't that many of those people about. As I said before I think the only realistic approach in those areas is to get the maps onto as many devices as we can (for which they need to be street level complete) and then cultivate feedback from satnav/smartphone users to add some richness to the data. Hopefully some of those people would join the OSM community along the way.
