Wikipedia:Bot Approvals Group

This page lists the members of the Bot Approvals Group which approves or denies requests for approval for bots. However, only bureaucrats are technically capable of flagging bots.

Members of the group are experienced in writing and running bots, have programming experience, understand the role of the BAG in the BRFA process, and understand Wikipedia's bot policy. Those interested in joining the group should make a post to the talk page explaining why they would be a good member of the team and outlining past experience, and then should make posts to relevant community noticeboards to invite community participation. After ten days, an uninvolved bureaucrat or an uninvolved current BAG member will close the discussion.

The Bot Approvals Group has an official IRC channel on freenode at #wikipedia-BAG. Feel free to join, ask questions and idle if you wish. BAGBot also reports a recent changes feed of BRFA-related pages into the channel for your convenience.
