(on IRC?) +I've compiled a list of edit filter managers who are simultaneously also bot operators; +I've further assembled the bots they run and made notes on the bots that seem to be relevant to vandalism prevention/quality assurance +I'm currently trying to determine from document traces what filter contributions the corresponding edit filter managers had and whether they are working on filters similar to the bots they operate. +Insight is currently minimal, since abuse\_filter\_history table is not available and we can only determine what filters an edit filter manager has worked on from limited traces such as: last modifier of the filter from abuse\_filter table; editors who signed their comments from abuse\_filter table; probably some noticeboards or talk page archives, but I haven't looked into these so far. \begin{comment} \url{http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/whorunswikipedia}
