I do not see a new translation group is necessary for your purposes. In fact I 
see few posibilities:

- you may recycle translations in the i18n folder if it fits
- if your script is able to be distributed we could commit (with i18n extension)
- I am implementing translated bot owner messages wich (hopefull) coming soon. 
If so, you may check whether there are messages to re-use
- finally we could implement bot-specific messages as part of the pwb framework 
and port them to translatewiki like other messages. We could handle with 
drtrigonbot.py, xqbot.py valhallasw-bot.py as well. Maybe they should get a 
thirdparty-suffix.
