  • there should be some control over what constitutes a batch. Some users might want to create multiple logical batches during the same run of a bot, or share the same batch id across consecutive runs of the same python script (for instance if it is called by a bash script…

Note that this EditGroups tool is not part of mediawiki and can break in various ways - for instance, if it is down, the links in the summaries will be dead.
Also, this tool is specific to Wikidata - it will not make any sense to add these links if the MediaWiki instance is not Wikidata.
Generalizing the tool to other Wikibase instances is possible but this will induce a different syntax for the edit summaries, so this should probably be configurable in some way.
