The botflag isn't used because the tool doesn't include the appropriate
parameter (e.g. bot=1 for action=edit)? Or because the grants for the tool
don't include "High-volume editing"? Because OAuth does nothing to prevent the
bot flag from working in exactly the same way that it does for edits made using
traditional auth, assuming the account has the 'bot' right, the grants include
the 'bot' right, and the actual request indicates that it should be flagged.

I tend to agree with comment 12 here, although an enhanced tag filter might be
useful if it's technically possible (i.e. if the resulting queries don't blow
up the database).
