I was looking at it as an out-of-date contact list. Contact lists are only as useful as they are accurate.In the scenario brought up in that comment (only 4 active editors remain in a 50-editor project) it's not likely that I'd be able to get consensus for opting in at the project talk page, and if, say, I wanted to find the 4 active editors to ask them about opting in, I would have done the bot's job for it already.

I don't see a great way to ever set this bot loose on every wikiproject, and you don't want them to opt-in; so will this be defacto limited to only projects that use a specific ordering and styling method you are expecting? — xaosflux Talk 04:39, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply
