imho the first contact for the bot are the developers and pywikibot is well
known as contact address. The second contact is the bot account itself. I is
common to have bot account and the operator should be reachable via wikimail or
contact information on the bot's user page. The bot account is unique. I guess
it would be enough to have "pywikibot", script name and bot account in the UA.
