Yes, that's what I wrote in the initial letter with a link to the log. For
me, this is quite silent.
But your example shows something important: Dalba's solution is not general
enough, either. It will work for abusefilter-warning, but not for
SpamFilterError. Or for abuse filters that deny edit.

Pywikibot should have the option to send a mail to the owner, if he/she
wants, and setting the e-mail option for the bot account is worth for this
purpose.
Of course, it wouldn't be obligatory.
I don't think we could expect bot owners to monitor their logs all the
time. Why should a human do the work of a computer?
