That section of the page has gotten more and more prescriptive over time. I used to think that just using 1 separate account for mechanical and import edits was the way to go. I still think that, but wonder if people are worried about it.
I expect the stuff about documenting sources in the account basically never happens and the main impact of using a new account for every import is that the user is harder to actually contact. It's also harder to "watch" an account to see if it is doing imports, because it is only used the one time. There's users I'd like to be able to key an eye on because they love to import and don't really sweat the details.
